there are words you cannot take away
they're out there, they've been said and the time cannot be replayed
words did hurt but were not meant that way
what is the half-life of a stupid joke gone wrong?
the words cannot be gathered back and retrieved
they're just out there somewhere, somewhat impressed on the memories of the receivers
will the power of forgiveness cash in on the blows of a dozen sorry's?
how can i tell you about your value so you don't don't judge my character by one incident?
i feel hurt that i caused something bad that lingers
i cannot turn back the clock unless you give your permission
