Lyrics

• Final
• Voice memo

[Verse 1]
I don't, no no, you don't know me very well at all
Yet you float on every heavy word you wrote
Yes, it seems I must have missed the boat

[Pre-chorus]
And I could care just a little bit less
But there's still a heart beating in my chest
And I, but I, try to keep that a secret

[Chorus]
Now cast away your wicked words
I don't wanna hear you sigh no more
Not interested in those grudges that you keep
Now, though your story may be hard
There's a lesson to be learned by you
Talk ain't worth a lot when it's so cheap

[Verse 2]
And I cope knowing that you won't
Get the best of me with a weakened soul
I hope you choke on every heavy word you spoke
Till you find it, find it hard to float

[Pre-chorus]
And I could care just a little bit less
But there's still a heart beating in my chest
And I, but I, try to keep that a secret

[Chorus]
Now cast away your wicked words
I don't wanna hear you sigh no more
Not interested in those grudges that you keep
Now, though your story may be hard
There's a lesson to be learned by you
Talk ain't worth a lot when it's so cheap

[Bridge]
Now it's been so long
Really think it's time to move on
When your vision is doubling
And all you are troubling is me
When you get so stale
All I do is raise my sets
And look through the haze
You can fight me on my way

[Chorus]
Cast away your wicked words
I don't wanna hear you sigh no more
Not interested in those grudges that you keep
Now, though your story may be hard
There's a lesson to be learned by you
Talk ain't worth a lot when it's so cheap

[Outro]
Cast away, cast away
Cast away your wicked words
I don't wanna hear, no
Now cast away, cast away
Cast away your wicked words
I don't wanna hear, no more

[Verse 1]
I don't, oh no, you don't know me very well at all
Yet you float on every heavy word you wrote
Yes, it seems I must have missed the boat

[Pre-chorus]
And I could care just a little bit less
But there's still a heart beating in my chest
And I, but I, try to keep that a secret

[Chorus]
Now cast away your wicked words
I don't wanna hear you sigh no more
Not interested in those grudges that you keep
Now, though your story may be hard
There's a lesson to be learned by you
Talk ain't worth a lot when it's so cheap

[Verse 2]
And I cope knowing that you won't
Get the best of me with a weakened soul
I hope you choke on every heavy word you spoke
Till you find it, find it hard to float

[Pre-chorus]
And I could care just a little bit less
But there's still a heart beating in my chest
And I, but I, try to keep that a secret

[Chorus]
Now cast away your wicked words
I don't wanna hear you sigh no more
Not interested in those grudges that you keep
Now, though your story may be hard
There's a lesson to be learned by you
Talk ain't worth a lot when it's so cheap

[Bridge]
Now it's been so long
I really think it's time to move on
When your vision is doubling
And all you are troubling is me
When you get so stale
All I do is raise my sets
And look through the haze
You can fight me on my way

[Chorus]
Yeah now cast away your wicked words
I don't wanna hear you sigh no more
Not interested in those grudges that you keep
Now, though your story may be hard
There's a lesson to be learned by you
Talk ain't worth a lot when it's so cheap

[Outro]
Now cast away your wicked words
I don't wanna hear no more, no more
