Words That Have Been Said...
The things you say in anger, can never be withdrawn,
Like a stone thrown over water, once it leaves your hand it’s gone;
Even though you want to take it back, as soon as it’s been said,
Those harsh words hang between you, until both of you are dead;
Try to leave those words unspoken, it’s always better that way,
Cause not matter how hard you try, there are things you can’t unsay;
It can break your heart in two, if you say what you don’t mean,
Cause even though you try to fix it, those words stay hidden there, unseen;
And they will come back to haunt you, someday they will appear,
Brought up in casual conversation, in a month or in a year;
And the sinking feeling that hits you, is no more than you deserve,
Because you had to say those stupid words, just to strike a nerve;
Now this warning that I give to you, is more valuable than gold,
Cause at the end of the day it’s not worth, the pain and torment you uphold;
Don’t say hurtful things in anger, just to prove that you are right,
Cause those little things between you, are what keep you up at night.
