(Yeah, mmm)
Words are just air, baby
Show me what you mean
I’ve been sitting here watching the clock tick by
Waiting for a truth behind your alibi
You talk a big game when the lights go low
But when the sun rises, you’re just for show
I’m tired of the promises wrapped in gold
When the reality is feeling mighty cold
I’ve been patient, I’ve given you space
But I’m losing the vision of your smiling face
It’s actions over words, baby, that’s the deal
I need to see something that I know is real
You keep on talking but you’re standing still
I’m at my limit, yeah, I’ve had my fill
I love you, but love isn't just a sound
It’s the way that you move when I’m not around
Actions over words, show me you’re true
Or I’ll be finding someone who knows what to do
I keep score in the quiet of the midnight air
Counting every time that you weren't really there
I don’t want the flowers or the empty text
I want to know where we’re going next
Don’t try to pacify me with a sweet excuse
I’ve been holding on tight, but I’m cutting the loose
My heart is heavy, but my spirit is strong
I’ve been singing the notes of this tired song
It’s actions over words, baby, that’s the deal
I need to see something that I know is real
You keep on talking but you’re standing still
I’m at my limit, yeah, I’ve had my fill
I love you, but love isn't just a sound
It’s the way that you move when I’m not around
Actions over words, show me you’re true
Or I’ll be finding someone who knows what to do
(Oh, yeah)
I’m not asking for the moon or the stars above
I’m just asking for a different kind of love
One that shows up when the pressure starts to rise
One that isn't hidden by your clever lies
I’m letting go if you don’t step up now
I’m taking a bow, yeah, I’m taking a bow
So here is the line that I’m drawing tonight
I’m done with the shadow, I’m looking for light
You can keep the speeches, you can keep the pride
I’m looking for a partner standing by my side
If you don’t get it, then I’ll be just fine
Walking away from the wasted time
Don’t come back calling if you haven't changed
‘Cause the look in my eyes is already rearranged
It’s actions over words, baby, that’s the deal
I need to see something that I know is real
You keep on talking but you’re standing still
I’m at my limit, yeah, I’ve had my fill
I love you, but love isn't just a sound
It’s the way that you move when I’m not around
Actions over words, show me you’re true
Or I’ll be finding someone who knows what to do
Show me, baby, just show me
(Come here)
I need you to show me, don't just speak it
Actions, that's all I want
I'm letting go, yeah
Actions over words
(Mmm, yeah)
