Time to pick up the words that fell out my mouth earlier today
In an effort to try to save myself and my heart from wasting away
Words were said in a manner that rendered me foolish to the naked eye
A lapse of judgement, a rush of blood, all the things that made you cry
Misunderstanding seem to be commanding my actions as I burst through the door
Words that once held merit now are dipped in malice, and like lead, fall to the floor
And it's only with the clanging of my words on the tile that I wake to see you there
A mountain of bravery that shelters inside a person so very frail
And I then find words wound far more than presumed as I see the tears well in your eyes
As I kick aside those lead words while rushing you to my arms, whispering for you not to cry
I've come to understand that arguments go in hand with a voice, that much is true
That this is expected in the mash up called love that was made from me and you
And as long as a solution is found in the shouting and we come back to each other's embrace
We'll find ourselves stronger through the storm called life, there's no trouble that we can't face
