We've been tangled up like this before
  Saying things we'll both regret
  We dig in and start keeping score
  We both forgive but we don't forget
  
  Chorus:
  It seems like nothing when it's going down
  We've got to watch the words we throw around
  We've got to stop this game before it starts
  You might accidentally break my heart
  
  Sticks and stones may break my bones
  But a word could kill me dead
  The body will mend whenever it bruises
  But you can't take back a thing you said
  
  Chorus
  
  Hearts get built up and broken with every word we say
  Just saying we didn't mean it doesn't make it go away
  
  So I'll tell you what I'm feeling truly
  And not just react 'cause the stakes are high
  A thousand words could lead us to forever
  And a thousand more could lead us to goodbye
  
  Chorus
