Words

Words that sting like ice
I can't but feel stuck
And frozen in place

Words that aren't that nice
I feel myself start to cry
Why can't I ever erase

But I swear, I'm trying my best
Holding my tears again
And I swear, it won't happen again
I'll just mute my feelings

Wrap me in a bubble wrap
And pick me up
And keep me locked in
Don't wanna hear your voice
When you speak like that
I'll hide under my skin

Words that stay too long
I guess I just think too much
Why am I hurt by it all

And I swear, I'm trying my best
Holding my tears again
And I swear, it won't happen again
I'll just mute my feelings

Wrap me in bubble wrap
And pick me up
And keep me locked in
Don't wanna hear your voice
When you speak like that
I'll hide under my skin
