I've never weighed my wording   Does the sentence match the crime?   Choking on what I've spoken suffocating      You never cared for counting   But mistakes are a score you'll keep   Keep enemies close and your lover closer      A word, a word is all that's needed   To turn a tide, to change a season      I never wage a war   I cannot forsee a victory   So how did I win yet still seem to surrender?   You never follow fashion   When you follow my advice   Shoot or be shot's the reason you're the victim      A word, a word is all that's needed   To turn a tide, to change a season      Standing on what's unspoken   I am left alone and high    Upon a pedestal intent on falling   Clinging to what I've broken   Breaking the things I try to mend   Sow what you say and reap what you regret      A word, a word is all that's needed   To turn a tide, to change a season
