HARSH WORDS
Music and Lyrics by Christina Martin (2002)

This may sound worn, just to please you
Just to be with you, just to feel your breath upon my neck and
Just to hear you, whisper in my ear
That I am beautiful
Just to touch me where it hurts

You don’t have to give your every waking moment
But this hurts to be so distant
Cutting just enough to bleed
To kill sometimes I think it should
And oh there times I wish it would
Awaken you, from the depths of your despair

I don’t want to wait forever
I just want to be together

CHORUS
Harsh words are spoken in the night
Next time we’ve fallen get back up again
You’ll be my kind I’ll be your Queen
Cause I believe we’ll make it through, all depends on you

It hurts my pride but I’ll ask you anyway
Knowing well you will not speak, fear of falling
And I may be weak, quest to find some echo
Its like digging stones from hollow air
But nothings there

You don’t say things, just to hurt me
It’s the honest mans device, silence used instead of vice
It’s a riddle, put your thoughts away
In a bottle throw them out to sea
Drift to my shore so I can read you

I don’t want to wait forever
I just want to be together

CHORUS
