I guess its true- what I've always heard We make ourselves feel better with hurtful words And more times than I even care to know We hurt the ones we love the most Forgiveness is what I'm looking for But you don't owe me anything at all I'm sorry, It feels like I'm stabbing my own back I can't believe I'm drowning in the words I should not own And so today I take a vow To never open up my mouth Against another living soul Be it friend or be it foe But is this real Or empty conviction Just a good idea Because I'm a Christian Just to make sure I'll cut off my tongue Destroying transduction And make myself numb Destroying transduction
