about

A song about the value of words

lyrics

Broken
By words that kept me down
I had misspoken
But my callused words still stand their ground.
Patient
Study the lesson in this mess
Because adjacent to my compassion is my self-respect

Don’t forget that words are not like pennies
Like you can throw them all around forgotten on the ground
Not like pennies you can’t take them or leave them believe me
Your words added up
So I’m cashing out

Fix it
Like duct tape on a crack
Or nix it
Because spoken words do not retract
Fizzle
Don’t stoke this fire up
Because I’m tired
And I’m old enough to know when I’ve had enough

I keep friends who place value on feelings
They can stand inside my shoes
Before they blow the fuse
And lately I don’t like the woman I’ve turned into
Something had to change and now with all this change
I’m cashing in
