Intro: (x2) verse : A little time, a little distance, a little space to think Might be all we need, right now I don't know if we've had too much, or not enough to drink But, we've got to get over this, somehow It only takes a breath or two, to tear your world apart Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words can break your heart verse : Cutting words from careless lips, softly spoken Oh, you can do damage and never scream or shout Emotions get the best of us; we say things we don't mean And it's too late to take 'em back once they're out It only takes a breath or two, to tear your world apart Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words can break your heart Bridge: Oh, can we just start over? Nobody won; what's done is done, weâ??ve got to let it go It only takes a breath or two, to tear your world apart Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words can break your heart ) Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words can break your heart
