Words in Your Mouth

Well I think I missed the forest for the trees
What is it exactly you're saying
'Cause I thought I knew what you were doing
But I guess maybe I wasn't really listening

Am I listening, or am I just putting words in your mouth
When you're speaking, do I catch every single thing that comes out
Did I hear you right, or does memory betray me
Was I ever really sure what you were saying
Am I listening, or am I just putting words in your mouth

Why do I have to do this every time
Blurring the words that you've spoken into mine
'Cause I pick apart vowels and consonants
Until I find proof that you'll move again
When I've figured you out, maybe I'll trust you then

Am I listening, or am I just putting words in your mouth
When you're speaking, do I catch every single thing that comes out
Did I hear you right, or does memory betray me
Was I ever really sure what you were saying
Am I listening, or am I just putting words in your mouth
Oh, words in your mouth

And I think I hear what I want to hear
Can you teach my heart to treat you better
'Cause you've only shown me goodness through the years
But I get caught up on every letter

Am I listening, or am I just putting words in your mouth
Can't imagine the time I've wasted trying to figure you out
You'd think I'd know by now you never will betray me
Shut me up, sit me down, I'm my own worst enemy
Ok, I'm listening, I won't put any words in your mouth
Words in your mouth
