They say that time heals all of your wounds;
and yet, here I sit, still bloodied and bruised.
They say stones break bones and words cause no pain;
And yet, here I sit, broken once again.
The thing about time is that it doesn't heal;
I'm hurt to the point that I barely can feel.
Words hurt, no doubt, along with sticks and stones,
but broken hearts hurt worse than broken bones.
The human brain works in a real funny way,
bringing things back that I'd rather keep away;
old memories, and my own demons, too -
all resurfacing right out of the blue.
They say that time heals all of your wounds;
but, let me tell you, that's not at all true.
They say stones break bones and words cause no pain;
but that is not true either, my friend.
