Lyrics

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
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
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'll 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
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
