They made me try a little harder
Made me wanna quit
Even after all this time
Some sting a little bit
Some made me fall in love
Some made me fall apart
Some rolled right off my back
While others broke my heart
Words
They're not just words
They can't be unsaid
They can't be unheard
Words
If they don't really matter
How do they heal?
Why do they hurt
If they're just words?
Some I've screamed in anger
Some I've whispered in a prayer
I've had to have the last one
When I should've left it there
Some I'll keep forever
Safe in my dresser drawer
Some I've left unspoken
'Cause I was just too insecure
Words
They're not just words
They can't be unsaid
They can't be unheard
Words
If they don't really matter
How do they heal?
Why do they hurt
If they're just words?
I don't wanna waste 'em
I wanna think before I say 'em
'Cause sticks and stones
Ain't got nothing on
Words
They're not just words
They can't be unsaid
They can't be unheard
Words
If they don't really matter
How do they heal?
Why do they hurt
If they're just words?
Words
