You might not realize it now
But your words are knives
You can try to be kind
But you'll never throw nicely
You say you wouldn't do anything to hurt me
I believe you mean it
But sometimes the knife slips
You can't realize how much
Certain words make my head spin
Make me want to lay down and not get back up
You keep telling you never WANT to hurt me
I believe you
But this was an accident
You looked at me as if I was
Perfect
As if there was nothing better
But there is
You can't see past me
And that's dangerous
I can't keep promises
And everything I touch breaks
I tried to make you see that
So I wouldn't hurt you
I have words like knives too
I also don't mean to hurt you
But my hand, my heart, my words
Had other plans
So just be careful
Hold on tight to your words
