(Swing Out Sister)  Another strange awakening  Another memory on its way  Another night in an empty room  Another thrown away day  How long  Must I go on fooling myself?  In a world of make-believe  Precious words  Are all that I have left to prove?  That I've nothing more left to lose  Precious words won't bring you back to me  Precious words won't bring you back to me  Loneliness says much more  Than a thousand words ever said  Conversations pass me by  I'm left with silence instead  How long must I go on fooling myself?  In a world of make-believe  Precious words  Are all that I have left to prove?  That I've nothing more left to lose  Precious words won't bring you back to me  Precious words won't bring you back to me  You left my world empty  Now there's nothing to say  Precious words  Won't bring you back to me...  How long  Must I go on fooling myself?  In a world of make-believe  Precious words  Are all that I have left to prove?  That I've nothing more left to lose  Precious words won't bring you back to me  Precious words won't bring you back to me  You left my world empty  Now there's nothing to say  Precious words  Won't bring you back to me
