Shots Fired (Words Can Kill) Lyrics

That weapon can destroy and hurt so much

Tearing down things that can't be touched

Yet shots fired ringing out every day

It's a crying shame no words left to say

No thought of the damage or the pain

We keep shooting time and time again

Shots fired words cut deep

No regard no refrain no relief

We speak without a second thought

Not knowing what we've really lost

Shots fired another soul torn down

The power of words echoes all around

We got a switch a never-ending itch

A trigger finger ready to make that hit

Made them look like a fool gave 'em my mind

Told 'em off left 'em behind

But shots fired and another heart breaks

Another dream crushed with all it takes

Shots fired words cut deep

No regard no refrain no relief

We speak without a second thought

Not knowing what we've really lost

Shots fired another soul torn down

The power of words echoes all around

The power of your tongue will never succumb

You always speak like you're the one

Quick with the quip flip never miss a beat

But every word leaves someone incomplete

Next time they'll think twice but did you?

Before your words destroyed the truth

Shots fired words cut deep

No regard no refrain no relief

We speak without a second thought

Not knowing what we've really lost

Shots fired another soul torn down

The power of words echoes all around

Another life destroyed by what we say

Another heart left in disarray

Aspirations stumped into the ground

Words got power they come back around

And when the dust settles what's left to see?

A world of hurt brought on by you and me

Shots fired words cut deep

No regard no refrain no relief

We speak without a second thought

Not knowing what we've really lost

Shots fired another soul torn down

The power of words echoes all around

We all hold a weapon in our mouths

But when will we learn to quiet down?

Think before we pull the verbal trigger

And stop making our problems bigger

'Cause shots fired they don't just fade

They leave scars that never go away

Shots fired words cut deep

No regard no refrain no relief

We speak without a second thought

Not knowing what we've really lost

Shots fired another soul torn down

The power of words echoes all around
