Daggers Lyrics by Buttons

Little Dark, Little Grey

2012

Your words are daggers and they cut me down to size
They get under my skin, and then they tear me up inside
And I got nothing left to hide anymore
Because you spilled my guts all over the floor
Now I've got a puddle of apologies pooling at my feet
And a mess of broken promises falling through my teeth
Well, you took my tongue and the air out of my lungs
Hung up the phone and left me to die alone
You better watch where you point those words
Those words can do some hurt
Sticks and stones can break my bones
But words like those will kill me
Your words are anchors at the bottom of my heart
They drag along the surface and they tear it all apart
And I was standing on the raft that I'd made
Until you pulled it out from under my legs
Now I've got an ocean full of apathy trying to pull me down
And a tide of insecurities tossing me around
Well, you took my soul and the only thing I know
Hung up the phone and left me to die alone
You better watch where you point those words
Those words can do some hurt
Sticks and stones can break my bones
But words like those will kill me
Well, I can't believe my ears
You know you got a lot of nerve to come around here
Showing your face where it just ain't appreciated, dear
And do I make myself clear?
Well, did I stutter?
I said I don't wanna see you anymore
Get your bag up off the floor
And I'm-a walk you to the door right now
You better watch where you point those words
Those words can do some hurt
Sticks and stones can break my bones
But words like those will kill me
You better watch where you point those words
Those words can do some hurt
Sticks and stones can break my bones
But words like those will kill me
