1000 Words [Portuguese translation]

I know that you're hiding things,

Using gentle words to shelter me

Your words were like a dream

But dreams could never fool me

Not that easily

I acted so distant then

Didn't say goodbye before you left

But I was listening:

You fight your battles far from me

Far too easily

'Save your tears cause I'll come back'

I could hear that you whispered

As you walked through that door

But still I swore

To hide the pain

When I turn back the pages

Shouting might have been the answer

What if I cried my eyes out

And begged you not to depart?

But now I'm not afraid to say what's in my heart

Though a thousand words

Have never been spoken

They'll fly to you

Crossing over the time

And distance holding you,

Suspended on silver wings

And a thousand words,

One thousand confessions,

Will cradle you

Making all of the pain you feel seem far away

They'll hold you forever

The dream isn't over yet

Though I often say I can't forget

I still relive that day

You've been there with me all the way

I still hear you say

'Wait for me, I'll write you letters'

I could see how you stand

With your eyes to the floor

But still I swore

To hide the doubt

When I turn back the pages

Anger might have been the answer

What if I'd hung my head

And said that I couldn't wait?

But now I'm strong enough to know it's not too late

'Cause a thousand words

Call out through the ages

They'll fly to you

Even though I can't see

I know they are reaching you,

Suspended on silver wings

Oh! A thousand words

One thousand embraces

Will cradle you

Making all of your weary days seem far away

They'll hold you forever

Oh! A thousand words

(A thousand words)

Have never been spoken

(Ohh, yeah)

They'll fly to you

They'll carry you home

(Carry you home)

And back into my arms

Suspended on silver wings

(On silver wings!)

And a thousand words (Ohh!)

Call out through the ages

(Call through the ages!)

They'll cradle you (Ohh yeah!)

Making all of the lonely years to only days

(Only days)

They'll hold you forever

Oh! A thousand words
