"A Thousand Words" lyrics - MYLES KENNEDY

Lost in an image like a ghost in time
In ceremony of our last goodbye
A lonely sinner went against a tortured sky
I saw her in a photograph
She stood there broken, head in her hand
A moment caught in time
My god, how it's still haunting me

[Chorus:]
Well, they say that a picture's worth a thousand words
In the ache of an image I have seen the worst
Like a million screams for mercy that can't be unheard
'Cause in times like these we must live and learn

Well, where I'm going I can't right the wrongs
Oh, where I turn to where I don't belong
The things I took for granted way too long
Ohhh, mmmm
There's so much left unsaid I cannot ignore anymore

[Chorus:]
Well, they say that a picture's worth a thousand words
In the ache of an image I have seen the worst
Like a million screams for mercy that can't be unheard
'Cause in times like these we must live and learn

[Bridge:]
The image in my mind, it calls for reason
Haunts me day and night
Impermanence we find just like the seasons
We fade out in due time

[Chorus:]
Well, they say that a picture's worth a thousand words
In the ache of an image I have seen the worst

Well, they say that a picture's worth a thousand words
In the ache of an image I have seen the worstLike a million screams
For mercy that can't be unheard
'Cause in times like these we must live and learn

[Outro:]
So I won't take for granted, I'll speak out in turn
'Cause in times like these we must live and learn
In times like these we must live and learn
In times like these we must live and learn
