Hiba Samm - Words Heal Like They Hurt lyrics

rate me

You said I wasn't beautiful.<br />

You said you didn't love me.<br />

You called me all these nasty words.<br />

I didn't believe in me, suddenly.<br />

I cried and I cried<br />

And I wished at night<br />

That I could run away and die.<br />

But then you came along and you said<br />

That life is hard but there's no need to worry.<br />

Even if that person doesn't say sorry.<br />

<br />

[CHORUS]<br />

But words can heal<br />

As much as they can hurt.<br />

They called you ugly.<br />

But we called you beautiful.<br />

Oh, words... they can heal.<br />

Like they hurt.<br />

Look around, this is real.<br />

It's time that you learned.<br />

That words can hurt.<br />

But words can heal.<br />

If you're smart enough<br />

You'll smile and the world<br />

Will smile along with you... <br />

<br />

You said you didn't like me.<br />

And I wondered what type you liked.<br />

Skinny, blonde hair, bikini?<br />

I'm sorry that I'm not what you like.<br />

And they came on along.<br />

And wiped away my tears.<br />

The words that said I'm beautiful.<br />

The words that washed away my fears.<br />

<br />

But words can heal<br />

As much as they can hurt.<br />

They called you ugly.<br />

But we called you beautiful.<br />

Oh, words... they can heal.<br />

Like they hurt.<br />

Look around, this is real.<br />

It's time that you learned.<br />

That words can hurt.<br />

But words can heal.<br />

If you're smart enough<br />

You'll smile and the world<br />

Will smile along with you.<br />

<br />

You called me ugly.<br />

And it cut me like a knife.<br />

You said I wasn't pretty.<br />

No, I wasn't alright.<br />

But they called me amazing.<br />

The cut healed, they were my cure.<br />

They said I was beautiful.<br />

And wiped away my tears.<br />

<br />

So, words can heal<br />

As much as they can hurt.<br />

They called you ugly.<br />

But we called you beautiful.<br />

Oh, words... they can heal.<br />

Like they hurt.<br />

Look around, this is real.<br />

It's time that you learned.<br />

That words can hurt.<br />

But words can heal.<br />

If you're smart enough<br />

You'll smile and the world<br />

Will smile along with you... <br />

<br />

Words can heal... <br />

As much as they can hurt.<br />

If you're afraid this isn't real.<br />

Look around, I'm right here...
