Words That Break

[Intro - female raspy]
Silent screams, beneath the surface show
Whispers cut deep, more than you'll ever know

[Verse 1]
Stumbled in shadows, carrying scars unseen
Voices echo cruel, tearing at the seams
Other words like daggers, piercing through my skin
Trying to find the strength to breathe again [echoes: “Breath again”]

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s a fragile line, between love and disdain
One kind word could heal, but the others bring pain

[Chorus]
How much more beating can I take?
The words like thunder, making me shake
Lift me up or push me down
Don’t kick me when I’m already at my lowest
Trying to hold my ground, I’m not at my best


[Verse 2]
Echoes in my mind, a constant harsh refrain
You don’t see the damage, behind your careless name
Sometimes the quiet screams are the loudest in my soul
Need your kindness, don’t leave me cold

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s a fragile line, between love and disdain
One kind word could heal, but the others bring pain

[Chorus]
How much more beating can I take?
The words like thunder, making me shake
Lift me up or push me down
Don’t kick me when I’m already at my lowest
Trying to hold my ground, I’m not at my best

[Instrumental - violin and guitar solo]

[Bridge]
Words can be a balm or a blade
Choose them wisely, be the light or shade
No more wounds I can’t bear
Speak with kindness, show you care

[Outro]
Silent prayers for strength inside
Hoping words will heal, not divide
