The words we chose cut deeper than a knife
Dissecting the parts that our love lived in
I guess good and bad are all part of life
**
Laying my heart bare, alone in the night
Covered in darkness, exposing my sin
The words we chose cut deeper than a knife
**
The anger we showed filled my heart with fright
Wondering if love could be whole again
I guess good and bad are all part of life
**
More brutal than honest, ne'er black and white
Tearing the flesh, leaving marks where we've been
The words we chose cut deeper than a knife
**
Lessons unlearned as we stir up the fight
Repeated through generations of men
I guess good and bad are all part of life
**
Maybe in time we can make things alright
We tend to forget and fall back again
The words we chose cut deeper than a knife
I guess good and bad are all part of life

Congratulations, Kelli, on your placement in this challenge❣ Words truly leave wounds that cut deeper than any weapon forged to skin. Also, I love the image you chose; it fits perfectly
Nicely done, Kellie.
They do seem to go together to give spice to living. Good job.
Words can leave burns on the heart worse than three degree on our hands: well expressed pain. A thousand stars to you, Kelli!
