Words
Ronan Keating Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

A single word I say

It's only words
And words are all I have
To take your heart away

Talk in everlasting words
And dedicate them all to me
And I will give you all my life
I'm hear if you should call to me

You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say

It's only words
And words are all I have
To take your heart away

It's only words
And words are all I have
To take your heart away

This world has lost its glory
Let's start a brand new story now, my love
You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say

It's only words
And words are all I have
To take your heart away

It's only words

And words are all I have
To take your heart away

He then acknowledges that the world has lost its glory, and the only way to cope with it is by starting a new story together.

The second verse reinforces this idea, as the singer asks his partner to "talk in everlasting words" and dedicate them to him. In return, he promises to give her his life and be there whenever she needs him.
