The Words Lyrics by Christina Perri

[Verse 1: Christina Perri]
All of the lights land on you
The rest of the world fades from view
And all of the love I see;
Please please say you feel it too
And all of the noise I hear inside;
Restless and loud, unspoken and wild
And all that you need to say
To make it all go away
Is that you feel the same way too

[Chorus: Christina Perri]
And I know
The scariest part is letting go
'Cause love is a ghost you can't control
I promise you the truth can't hurt us now
So let the words slip out of your mouth

[Verse 2: Christina Perri]
And all of the steps that led me to you
And all of the hell I had to walk through
But I wouldn't trade a day for the chance to say:
My love, I'm in love with you

[Chorus: Christina Perri]
And I know
The scariest part is letting go
'Cause love is a ghost you can't control
I promise you the truth can't hurt us now
So let the words slip out of your mouth

[Bridge: Christina Perri]
I know that we're both afraid
We both made the same mistakes
An open heart is an open wound to you
And in the wind of a heavy choice
Love has a quiet voice
Still your mind, now I'm yours to choose
And I know
The scariest part is letting go
Let my love be the light that guides you home

[Chorus: Christina Perri]
And I know
The scariest part is letting go
'Cause love is a ghost you can't control
I promise you the truth can't hurt us now
So let the words slip out of your mouth
