Words Hurt

Verse 1
Do you see me as your emotional punching bag?
I remember everything that you’ve ever said
Is it your mission to see me hanged?
Your words play over and over in my head.
-
They’ve cut out a hole in my heart
As you belittle me and wish I was never born
I won’t ever be rid of these scars
I’ve lost all my petals and was left with thorns.
 
Chorus
Your words hurt me far more than any wound
Only my eyes can see this new bruise
You’ve torn out my roots before I could even bloom
I can’t tell if this is the worst form of abuse.
 
Verse 2
Am I meant to be your sacrifice?
Your sharp tongue spares me no mercy
I don’t enjoy the pleasures of being alive
The way you talk so fast, it’s like you’re in a hurry.
-
No one has the right to talk down on me
Stop; don’t react. Just count to three
I can’t afford to panic; I need to breathe
Yet your words burn me worse than the third degree.
 
Chorus
