What We Say

Tears, heartbreak, low self-esteem, weakness
You'd be surprised at how much you can affect someone with your words, let alone
Sometimes we mistake our mouths for vacuums 
We think can say whatever we want to someone and then just clean it up with a sorry
Well that is not how it works
After you're said or done something hurtful, a person can really take that in
Even if you say sorry, it's most likely already taken it in
After an apology is given it might be said that you're forgiven 
But you still affected that person in a negative way
Hopefully that person doesn't hold a grudge and let it get to them 
But you can't control others feelings
So regardless we need to realize and understand that what we say to people 
cause if you use sorries too much, they become worthless
