The Word
THE WORD

So life’s unfair now you want someone who just doesn’t care
You crossed that line and you got yourself hurt for better or for worse
For what it’s worth you last ain’t the first

Now you feel had, for all those years that went by so fast
Well I was there when you made your choice no I wasn’t paranoid
Anyway, you didn’t want me

CHORUS
Now you think you’re gonna come undone
‘cause they want someone else and it hurts
Don’t bother me you don’t know a thing about it
Did you get so drunk you forgot your face
And didn’t know who you were in the first place
Take it from me, you don’t know the meaning of the word

Do you feel ashamed? Did you realize it could never be the same
As the way I felt the day you left despite my protest you turned away
You weren’t so much as sorry

Now you think you’re gonna come undone
‘cause they want someone else and it hurts
Don’t bother me you don’t know a thing about it
Did you drive your car into your neighbors house
And cut off all your hair in the backyard
Take it from me you don’t know the meaning you don’t know the meaning of the word

You don’t know what I’ve been through I just don’t believe you’ll ever know
What it means or half the way it feels
You’ll never understand true agony of defeat you threw the first stone
Did you think it wouldn’t hurt me

Now you think you’re gonna come undone
‘cause they want someone else and it hurts
Don’t bother me you don’t know a thing about it
Did you carve their name so deep into your chest
That you nearly bled to death, naked
Take it from me you don’t know the meaning, you don’t know the meaning of the word

You think it hurt? You think it hurt?
Take it from me you don’t know the meaning of the word
