Lyrics
It was only a word that I heard but I buried it deep within I held it tight, lost the key and the rights then forgot Didn’t matter I thought But today as I feel the strain There’s a niggling phrase I am longing to vent and say but my head knows the right way but my heart is resentful I confess this bitterness It was only a word that I spoke but the promise went deep within I held it tight, lost the key and the rights then forgot Didn’t matter I thought But today as I feel the pain There’s a niggling phrase I am longing to vent and say But my head knows the right way but my heart is resentful I confess my bitterness Who would have thought it could mean anything? Who would have thought it could make a difference? It was only a word, only a word I was only surviving in this world by protecting my feelings so I didn’t get hurt Who would have thought It was only a word Only a word It was only a word that I heard But I buried it deep within
