These Words (song)

Who knew that words could hurt so bad?
Make the happy ones sad
Make the calm ones mad

Who knew you could deal such pain?
Drive the sound ones insane
Drive the nice to be slain

Who knew you could do so much with these words?
Make anything sound absurd
Make a clear vision blurred

These words were never meant to do this
I guess they’re right when they say ignorance is bliss
I tried and tried and tried and tried to mend
But it didn’t really work out in the end

These words were never meant to bring tears to your eyes
I guess they’re right when they say the element of surprise
I cried and cried and cried and cried at your face
When I saw that I lost a friend I couldn’t replace

Words hurt so much
When they weren’t meant to
Just try to see through
It’s all you can do

Words hurt so much
When they were meant to please
To make you smile with ease
I’m cursed with a disease

These words were never meant to do this
I guess they’re right when they say ignorance is bliss
I tried and tried and tried and tried to mend
But it didn’t really work out in the end

These words were never meant to bring tears to your eyes
I guess they’re right when they say the element of surprise
I cried and cried and cried and cried at your face
When I saw that I lost a friend I couldn’t replace

Didn’t mean to make you cry
Didn’t see a reason why
Didn’t mean to cause your tears
Didn’t mean to be your fears

Never meant to leave that scar
Never meant to wander far
Never meant to say so long
Never meant to hurt the strong

These words were never meant to do this
I guess they’re right when they say ignorance is bliss
I tried and tried and tried and tried to mend
But it didn’t really work out in the end

These words were never meant to bring tears to your eyes
I guess they’re right when they say the element of surprise
I cried and cried and cried and cried at your face
When I saw that I lost a friend I couldn’t replace

Who knew words could hurt so bad?
Who knew you could deal such pain?
Who knew you could do so much with these words?
They’re just words
