Words

Words

How little they mean

Written on a wall

Or a screen

Thousands of words are in my head

But I can't find the right ones

Some people even use their words

As their shooting guns

I don't wanna say the wrong words

Cause words can hurt

So I'll shut up

And won't mention the stain on your shirt

Words

They can mean so much

When they compliment you

Or when they judge

Words can mean so much

Especially when no one is speaking

Words can hurt so much

That your mind starts bleeding

Words can mean so little

Cause we learnt to talk but not to speak

I hear thousands of words

I hear them every week

Most of them get to my ears

But I won't keep them in mind

Cause very few of these words

Are actually kind

Words

And how we took their meaning away

But there are still five words where I know

That their meanings will stay.
