The Things We Say
Words like bullets sleeping in a gun
Wake them up, and damage will be done
Pull the trigger, life's forever changed
Do we ever really hesitate?
Our tongues like barrels pointed at someone
We take shots and wonder what went wrong
We're all bullseyes we're all taking aim
We're all hurt but no one takes the blame?
Oh the things we say
Can never be erased
Oh the things we say
It's the weapon of the age
Oh the price we pay
For the things we say
Words like matches striking in a drought
Just one spark and there's no getting out
These flames will spread from foe to friend
Yeah we all get burned in the end
I have felt those embers on my lips
Now I know the pain it can inflict
I let it singe the ground and turn it black
Oh I wish that I could take it back
Oh the things we say
Can never be erased
Oh the things we say
It's the weapon of the age
Oh the price we pay
For the things we say
A generation listens close
Can you hear them start to echo
Can you hear them echo
The Things We Say
The things we say
Just one word spoken, can mend what's broken
The things we say
Building bridges into the future
The things we say
Pour love into each other
Pour love into each other
Pour love into each other
With the things we say
