Nothing hurts like words; Nothing sinks in and touches you
Nothing quite as much, not as harsh vile words

Cuts and bruises heal, they leave no mark, no stain
No real reminder that they were ever really there
Scars will fade over time, leave and disappear.
Not ones of your heart, they will stay forever

Nothing hurts like words; nothing sinks in and touches you
Nothing quite as much, not as harsh vile words

Pain will come and go, ebb and flow
But with each touch it stains, like ink
It stays with you, slowly covering you
Until you are swallowed by it, unrecognisable.

Nothing hurts like words; nothing sinks in and touches you
Nothing quite as much, not as harsh vile words
