Crushed By Words

by Scandal

/

about

A sultry, hook-driven, harmony-laden song which delivers a strong melody and rap.

lyrics

Sticks and stones, will make me bleed
Break my bones and leave me on my knees
A cold knife, straight through my heart
Would be a very good place to start, but

You don’t need a weapon Darling
I’m crushed by words
(Don’t need a weapon ‘cos I’m crushed by words)

Well one’s a party, and two’s a crowd
That’s how you told me, you’re getting out
We’ve had our fun, and now we’re through
You found something, somone better to do

You don’t need a weapon Darling
I’m crushed by words
(Don’t need a weapon ‘cos I’m crushed by words)
I’m crushed by words
(Don’t need a weapon ‘cos I’m crushed by words)
I’m crushed by words
(Don’t need a weapon ‘cos I’m crushed by words)
I’m crushed by words
(Don’t need a weapon ‘cos I’m crushed by words)

She’s taking over, going back to her roots
She’s zipping up, her walking boots
She’s moving in to make the final kill
I don’t wanna swallow, this bitter pill

She don’t need a weapon no, no
I’m crushed by words
(Don’t need a weapon ‘cos I’m crushed by words)
I’m crushed by words
(Don’t need a weapon ‘cos I’m crushed by words)
I’m crushed by words
(Don’t need a weapon ‘cos I’m crushed by words)
I’m crushed by words
(Don’t need a weapon ‘cos I’m crushed by words)

I’m crushed by words
(Don’t need a weapon ‘cos I’m crushed by words)
I’m crushed by words
(Don’t need a weapon ‘cos I’m crushed by words)
I’m crushed by words
(Don’t need a weapon ‘cos I’m crushed by words)
I’m crushed by words
(Don’t need a weapon ‘cos I’m crushed by words)

Tick tock, you punch the clock
No sticks, no guns, no stones or rocks
Words are weapons, sharper than knives
Cuttin’ and slashin’ right through our lives
They can help build nations, they can start a war
Got some words for you, but what would that be good for?
No tears, no fears, you’re gone with the birds
With your cold cruel heart, you crush me with words
