“Hey, what’s that you say now? Ooh! I hope I’m okay now.”
You’ve got to believe I never really meant to say what I said
Now I can recall your words and they’re echoing in my head

You said, “Your words are going to burn and hound you
When you realize they have found you.
If you think about what you’re saying,
Is it really worth the price you’re paying?
All because you don’t know the tongue is a fire”

I can’t hide any longer, I know I ought to be stronger
Those things will return to me that I’ll wish I never had said
And all of those fiery words are going to bring the tears that l shed
