Your words are daggers and they cut me down to size

They get under my skin, and then they tear me up inside

And I got nothing left to hide anymore

Because you spilled my guts all over the floor

Now I've got a puddle of apologies pooling at my feet

And a mess of broken promises falling through my teeth

Well, you took my tongue and the air out of my lungs

Hung up the phone and left me to die alone

You better watch where you point those words

Those words can do some hurt

Sticks and stones can break my bones

But words like those will kill me

Your words are anchors at the bottom of my heart

They drag along the surface and they tear it all apart

And I was standing on the raft that I'd made

Until you pulled it out from under my legs

Now I've got an ocean full of apathy trying to pull me down

And a tide of insecurities tossing me around

Well, you took my soul and the only thing I know

Hung up the phone and left me to die alone

You better watch where you point those words

Those words can do some hurt

Sticks and stones can break my bones

But words like those will kill me

Well, I can't believe my ears

You know you got a lot of nerve to come around here

Showing your face where it just ain't appreciated, dear

And do I make myself clear?

Well, did I stutter?

I said I don't wanna see you anymore

Get your bag up off the floor

And I'm-a walk you to the door right now

You better watch where you point those words

Those words can do some hurt

Sticks and stones can break my bones

But words like those will kill me

You better watch where you point those words

Those words can do some hurt

Sticks and stones can break my bones

But words like those will kill me
