Bite My Tongue
I think I bit my tongue today
No sign of blood but this taste won't go away
Even if a wound does heal
Its scar might never fade
Unwelcome words can pierce
And drain the soul
Like aphids on the blossoms leave a hole
Sometimes the heart and mind
Won't work together and one gets left behind
While the other pulls ahead
Naive of where it treads
The residue of harmful words
Outlasts a seeming pardon
Little can undo the work of aphids in the garden
I can't believe that I hurt you with the words I've said
I can't conceive how I fooled my heart and lost my head
But as I watched with wonder as your jaw seem to hit the ground
I realized that I stuck my foot right in my mouth
And what a big foot it is
I wish that I could turn back time
Alter memory or pay some kind of fine
Anything to make amends
Fix this break to where it bends
The residue of harmful words
Outlasts a seeming pardon
Little can undo the work of aphids in the garden
I can't believe that I hurt you with the words I've said
I can't conceive how I fooled my heart and lost my head
But as I watched with wonder as your jaw seem to hit the ground
I realized that I stuck my foot right in my mouth
These words are fugitives
Too harsh or too honest
A little pain will gain
If I bite my tongue for your sake
I can't believe that I hurt you with the words I've said
I can't conceive how I fooled my heart and lost my head
But as I watched with wonder as your jaw seem to hit the ground
I realized that I stuck my foot right in my mouth
I think I bit my tongue today
No sign of blood but this taste won't go away
Even if a wound does heal
Its scar might never fade
No sign of blood but this taste won't go away
Even if a wound does heal
Its scar might never fade
Unwelcome words can pierce
And drain the soul
Like aphids on the blossoms leave a hole
Sometimes the heart and mind
Won't work together and one gets left behind
While the other pulls ahead
Naive of where it treads
The residue of harmful words
Outlasts a seeming pardon
Little can undo the work of aphids in the garden
I can't believe that I hurt you with the words I've said
I can't conceive how I fooled my heart and lost my head
But as I watched with wonder as your jaw seem to hit the ground
I realized that I stuck my foot right in my mouth
And what a big foot it is
I wish that I could turn back time
Alter memory or pay some kind of fine
Anything to make amends
Fix this break to where it bends
The residue of harmful words
Outlasts a seeming pardon
Little can undo the work of aphids in the garden
I can't believe that I hurt you with the words I've said
I can't conceive how I fooled my heart and lost my head
But as I watched with wonder as your jaw seem to hit the ground
I realized that I stuck my foot right in my mouth
These words are fugitives
Too harsh or too honest
A little pain will gain
If I bite my tongue for your sake
I can't believe that I hurt you with the words I've said
I can't conceive how I fooled my heart and lost my head
But as I watched with wonder as your jaw seem to hit the ground
I realized that I stuck my foot right in my mouth
I think I bit my tongue today
No sign of blood but this taste won't go away
Even if a wound does heal
Its scar might never fade
