Enchant - Bite My Tongue lyrics

[Music: P. Craddick. Lyrics: P. Craddick & D. Ott] I think I bit my tongue today No sign of blood But this taste won't go away Even if awound does heal Its scar might never fade unwelcome words can pierce and drain the soul like aphids on the blossoms leave a hole Sometimes the heart and mind won't work together And one gets left behind While the other pulls ahead Naive of where it treads The residue of harmful words outlasts a seeming pardon Little can undo the work of aphids in the garden I can't believe that I hurt You with the words I've said I can't conceive how I fooled my heart and lost my head But as I watched with wonder as your jaw seem to hit the ground I realized that I stuck my foot right in my mouth And what a big foot it is ... I wish that I could turn back time Alter memory or pay some kind of fine Anything to make amends Fix this break to where it bends The residue of harmful words outlasts a seeming pardon Little can undo the work of aphids in the garden I can't believe that I hurt You with the words I've said I can't conceive how I fooled my heart and lost my head But as I watched with wonder as your jaw seem to hit the ground I realized that I stuck my foot right in my mouth These words are fugitives Too harsh or too honest A little pain will gain If I bite my tongue for your sake
