"The Words You Say That Break Me"

The words you say that break me, they just won't go away,
Replayed in my mind, no matter how hard I've tried to forget them today.

Little insensitive strikes that break me, oh how hard I've tried,
I want to get away from them, my happiness inside me has died.

I'd rather have the sticks and stones, at least my bones can mend,
But the words you say are stabbing me, they won't ever end.

Replayed over like a broken record, waiting for me to die,
Day by day I wilt inside, it's from your words, I cannot lie.

I want to live but my spirit is fading, even all but gone,
It's hard to believe the mountain top that you have brought me from.

Once we were friends, but now what's happened, you've ripped my heart from me,
Hurtful words, gossip, and lies have overshadowed any glee.

Someone help me, see my hurt, don't let me die tonight,
Come and grab me by the hand, come and help me fight.

Know the words you sometimes say can deeply hurt in the end,
Maybe because of your unkind words, you will even loose a friend.

Consider you words today...once said you can never take them back. Mend a friendship today.
