She's throwing all her clothes in a box again
Still reeling from the things that he said
He can make her feel like dying
Just a word
Can bring her world crashing again
He's feeling like a five year old kid again
Like he's scolded by the teacher again
Careless words that cut right through him
Take him back
To a time and place he'd rather forget
Chorus:
Every little word
Falling from our mouths
Makes me wonder why
We can't just love each other
Wish I could find a way to say
The things to make it right
Heaven knows we make a mighty big difference
With every little word
Another tragic tale in the news today
A lonely boy pushed to the edge
Shamed by names and casual cruelty
Just a kind word
Could have turned it all around in the end
Could have saved him
Every little word
Falling from our mouths
Makes me wonder why
We can't just love each other
Wish I could find a way to say
The things to make it right
Heaven knows we make a mighty big difference
With every little word
