k.d. lang - Perfect Word

Lyrics

The fire from your tongue is burning uncontrollably

Standing with your back to the wall

Striking back is bringing out the worst in me

I'm only human after all

I don't need to win this fight

I just want to make it right

Why's it always go unheard

That perfect word

These heated exchanges are consuming me

And bringing my heart down to its knees

This conversation's complications

Baby, we just love to disagree

I don't need to win the fight

I just want to make it right

Why's it always go unheard

That perfect word

From the fire to the flame

From the ashes love remains

No I don't need to win the fight

I just want to make it right

Why's it always go unheard

That perfect word
