Lyrics

MORE THAN JUST WORDS

Writer: Peter Niedmann

VERSE
Cold November recess--she's in second grade,
Stands off to the side while the other kids run and play,
She says, 'hey guys, can I be on your team?'
But they just holler something real mean.

A heart can't help but drown in that hate,
The dirty looks, the things that say
"You're nothing."

CHORUS
They're more than just words
They're pieces of glass,
That cut you so deep
The pain comes so fast.
So why do we say things
That punish and hurt?
When we all oughta know
They're more than just words.

VERSE
She and her mom, shopping at the mall,
See some girls go by--she's knows them all.
Smiles and waves at them, but they just laugh,
Walk right past her, talking trash.

A heart can't help but drown in that hate,
The dirty looks, the things that say
"You're nothing."

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Her mother numb with grief, crying on her bed,
Searching on her laptop for something she might have said.
Why did she take her life? She was only seventeen.
Then a message comes up on the screen, says--
"I'm nothing."

CHORUS
