A little time, a little distance
A little space to think
Might be all we need, right now
I don't know if we've had too much
Or not enough to drink
But, we've got to get over this, somehow
It only takes a breath or two
To tear your world apart
Sticks and stones may break your bones
But words can break your heart
Cutting words from careless lips, softly spoken
Oh, you can do damage and never scream and shout
Emotions get the best of us; we say things we don't mean
And it's too late to take 'em back once they're out
It only takes a breath or two
To tear your world apart
Sticks and stones may break your bones
But words can break your heart
Oh, can we just start over?
Nobody won; what's done is done
We've got to let it go
It only takes a breath or two
To tear your world apart
Sticks and stones may break your bones
But words can break your heart
