It only stings if you let it sting, it only hurts if you make it hurt If out of sight then it's out of mind, so why should they demand we stop it They're only lines on my face, they're only faults I can't erase They're only cracks in an ice sheet, they're only facts that experts speak But you and I we've our own facts, our cracks and our warning signs So let the ice melt the seas collide, it's hard enough just to get by They're only words just a little lie, they're only words that made you cry They're only things that I don't need, only wants they're not for me They're only signs that I'd like to read, they're only words without meaning It only stings if you make it sting, it only calls if you hear it ring It's just the sound of my own heart, beating far too fast that's all
