Foot In My Mouth (Again)

Hmmm

I opened my mouth, and out it came

Words like a storm, oh, I'm to blame

Didn't mean to cut, didn't mean to bruise

But I watched your smile fade with the words I used

If I could rewind, I'd take it all back

Erase the sting of my thoughtless attack

Oh, I stuck my foot in my mouth again

Tripped on my pride, let the hurt begin

I didn't mean it, but there's no excuse

I'm here now, hoping you'll offer grace to use

Will you forgive me for the words I threw

I just want to make it right with you

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Stress hit me hard, I spoke too fast

Didn't stop to think how it'd last

You deserve better, I should've been kind

But my reckless tongue left grace behind

A ten-second pause could've saved the day

But now I'm here to own the mess I made

Oh, I stuck my foot in my mouth again

Tripped on my pride, let the hurt begin (hurt begin)

I didn't mean it, but there's no excuse

I'm here now, hoping you'll offer grace to use

Will you forgive me for the words I threw

I just want to make it right with you

A moment of silence, a moment to breathe

Could keep me from making you want to leave

I humble myself, admit I was wrong

And promise to pause before moving on

Oh, I stuck my foot in my mouth again

Tripped on my pride, let the hurt begin

I didn't mean it, but there's no excuse

I'm here now, hoping you'll offer grace to use

Will you forgive me for the words I threw

I just want to make it right with you

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

So I'll take ten seconds, let patience reign

To keep my words from causing pain

Love deserves thought, not a reckless shout

Next time I'll keep my foot out of my mouth
