Words Can Break Your Heart - Don Henley

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
