words can break your heart
A little time, a little distance A little space to think Might be all we need, right now I don't know if we've had too much Or not enough to drink But, we've got to get over this, somehow It only takes a breath or two To tear your world apart Sticks and stones may break your bones But words can break your heart Cutting words from careless lips, softly spoken Oh, you can do damage and never scream and shout Emotions get the best of us; we say things we don't mean And it's too late to take 'em back once they're out It only takes a breath or two To tear your world apart Sticks and stones may break your bones But words can break your heart Oh, can we just start over? Nobody won; what's done is done We've got to let it go It only takes a breath or two To tear your world apart Sticks and stones may break your bones But words can break your heart
