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