I know that you lied to me
Using just the words to shelter me
Your words are like a dream
But dreams could never fool me
It's not right to me
I'm acting so distant now
Turned my back as you walked away
But I was listening
That you fight your battles far from me
It's not right to me
"Don't you worry 'cause I come back"
I could hear you speaking as
You walked through that door
I acted strong
To hide the pain when I turned back the pages
Crying out a windy answer
What if I shed my tears and
Begged you not to leave?
But now I'm not afraid to do
What's tell my heart
Those thousand words
Have never been spoken
So far away
I'm sending them to you wherever you are
Suspended on shiny wings
Those thousand words
Have never been spoken
They'll treasure you
Make you no longer dare seem
So far away
And hold you forever
That dream isn't over yet
I pretend and say, "I can't forget"
I still relive that day
You've been there with me all the way
It's not right of me
"Don't you worry 'cause I'll write to you"
I could see you speaking as
You looked away
I acted strong
To hide the love when I
Turned back the pages
Anger might've been the answer
But if I shook my head and said
That I can't wait
But now I'm not afraid to do
What's tell my heart
Those thousand words
Have never been spoken
So far away
I'm sending them to you wherever you are
Suspended on shiny wings
Those thousands words
Have never been spoken
They'll treasure you
Make you no longer dare seem
So far away
And hold you forever
Those thousand words
Have never been spoken
La la la la
I'm sending them to you wherever you are
Suspended on shiny wings
Those thousands words
Have never been spoken
La la la la
Make you no longer here
Feel like calling me
La la la la la...
Versione inglese cantata da Jade from Sweetbox:
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 good bye before you left
But I was listening
You'll fight your battles far from me
Far too easily
Save your tears 'cause I've back
I could hear that you whispered as you walked through that door
But still I swore to hide the pain when I turned 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
Oh 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 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 can see how you can stand there with your eyes to the floor
But still I swore to hide the doubt when I turned back the pages
Anger might have been the answer
What if I 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
Called out through the ages
They'll fly to you
Even though we can't see
I know they're 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
Have never been spoken
They'll fly to you
They'll carry you home and back into my arms
Suspended on silver wings
And a thousand words
Called out through the ages
They'll cradle you
Turning all of the loving into only days
They'll hold you forever...
pero attenzione:
Esistono due diverse versioni inglesi di "1000 Words". Il motivo è semplice: in teoria Koda Kumi, essendo la cantante avrebbe dovuto doppiare in inglese il personaggio di Lenne anche nella versione americana del gioco. Data però la sua pronuncia inglese non perfetta (in effetti basta sentire la sua versione di "1000 Words", per accorgersi subito del suo accento giapponese), i temi principali di FFX-2 sono stati affidati alla cantante americana Jade from Sweetbox. Il testo della canzone "1000 Words" interpretata da Jade è praticamente identico a quello della Kumi; si possono riscontrare però alcune piccole differenze per quanto riguarda alcuni versi della canzone; tali differenze hanno portato ad una leggera modifica della melodia (cantata da Jade dura infatti un minuto in più rispetto alla versione della Kumi) e di conseguenza ad un adattamento del filmato del concerto, che differisce quindi leggermente da quello della versione giapponese del gioco.
