The Telltales
 

Words

Pick your words with thought and care
‘Cause once you let them air
You can’t take them back
A stain is left that dyes the feelings black
Dyes the feelings black

Every word we say
Makes a scar that will stay

Feel the shock of the first fight
Recede with every slight
That comes with passing years
Cauterized by all the burns and sears
All the burns and sears

Every word we say
Makes a scar that will stay

When the calluses we’ve grown
From the bitterness we’ve sown
Cover every inch of skin
Nothing from the outside will get in
Nothing will get in

Every word we say
Makes a scar that will stay
