It aren't the words
that scare
and haunt
that wince and make you sad

it aren't the words
that leave the pain from scars inside
you wish you never had

it's not how often words are spoken
'cause words themselves can't hurt for real

it's the reason why
and for which pupose
and what they want to let you feel

it aren't the words
that tell the lie
but it's the person behind
that may try to drive you mad
that will try to let words circle around
to make them harder to forget

so let them flow
and let them vanish
hear them
but don't fear them

listen to them
then let go
it's the only way to bear them

don't let words hurt
it will take your smile
it's not worthwhile
it's the best thing that you have

not always easy (i admit)
but what's it worth
to let words hurt...
