Words Can Break Your Heart Lyrics - Cass County - Don Henley

A little time, a little distance 

A little space to think 

Might be all we need, right now 

I don't know if we've had too much 

Or not enough to drink 

But, we've got to get over this, somehow 

It only takes a breath or two 

To tear your world apart 

Sticks and stones may break your bones 

But words can break your heart 

Cutting words from careless lips, softly spoken 

Oh, you can do damage and never scream and shout 

Emotions get the best of us; we say things we don't mean 

And it's too late to take 'em back once they're out 

It only takes a breath or two 

To tear your world apart 

Sticks and stones may break your bones 

But words can break your heart 

Oh, can we just start over? 

Nobody won; what's done is done 

We've got to let it go 

It only takes a breath or two 

To tear your world apart 

Sticks and stones may break your bones 

But words can break your heart
