Words Still Hurt
December 25, 2012
I’ll act like it doesn't hurt
Pretend your words don’t burn,
But I don’t mind making mistakes,
As long as I always learn.
They haven’t lived my life,
Haven’t seen my sights,
They haven’t taste my wisdom,
Haven’t felt my frights
They call me psycho, call me freak
But they don’t understand
All the things I’ve got to do,
All that I hold in my hand.
It’s ok, I forgive you,
Though you’re not yet sorry,
But maybe you'll understand later
How much your words have hurt me.
