The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Promises given And promises broken Words stain my lips Just like blood on my hands And words are like poison That sinks down inside you And some things you do You just don't understand I offer no reason I ask for no pity I make no excuse For the way that I am And words are like poison That sinks down inside you And some things you do You just don't understand I God is my witness Then God is my savior But if you are my judge Then I'm already damned And words are like poison That sinks down inside you And some things you do You just don't understand And would if my fingers To cut off and give you Could gain my redemption I'd cut off my hands But words are like poison That bends you and blinds you And some things you do You just don't understand So this is my story And I hope that it finds you For your sweet attention I cannot demand And words are like poison That lives down inside you And some things you do You just don't understand
