Lyrics

WORDS
David Hansen

Words can wound; words can heal
Words can blow or close the deal
Words can be kind or needlessly cruel
Words can tear down or build bridges to you

Words can invite; words can calm
Words can inspire or blow up like a bomb
Words can unite or alienate
Words knock us down or elevate

(Chorus)
I should have covered you with kisses
Never let you walk away
I should have said I love you
With every breath I take
Angry words rang out like thunder
Crashing down on you
Then the lightning flashed in your eyes
And I knew

Words can sound crude or so refined
Poets can move us with words that rhyme
Words work like magic when paired with a tune
But words said in anger can open old wounds

(Chorus)
I should have covered you with kisses
Never let you walk away
I should have said I love you
Each and every day
Angry words rang out like thunder
Crashing down on you
Then the lightning flashed in your eyes
And I knew

I can’t take back harsh words once said
I replay those words all night in my bed
Can my words touch you when we’re worlds apart
Can you trust these sad words come from the heart
