(Verse)
|
There was a man
|
He had a thought
|
He couldn¡¯t keep it to himself
|
Though he ought
|
He spread it ¡®round knowing that
|
Mouths would run like water
|
And turn it into fact
|
|
(Pre-Chorus)
|
This is how wars begin
|
This is how bombs start droppin
|
If it begins with stopping I will, I will
|
|
(Chorus)
|
Before I say something I regret I
|
Need a moment to reflect I¡¯d
|
Like to keep my foot out of my mouth
|
And not be speakin¡¯ out my neck
|
And not say it just to be sayin¡¯ it
|
I got a butterfly net
|
In which my thoughts I collect
|
Puttin¡¯ the head and heart to the test to come with something better
|
|
(Verse)
|
If a thought is an opinion
|
To the truth it has no relation
|
But many mouths want attention
|
Intoxicated by the feelin of getting some
|
|
(Pre-Chorus)
|
This is how wars begin
|
This is how hearts get broken
|
If it begins with stopping I will, I will
|
|
(Chorus)
|
Before I say something I regret I
|
Need a moment to reflect I¡¯d
|
Like to keep my foot out of my mouth
|
And not be speakin¡¯ out my neck
|
And not say it just to be sayin¡¯ it
|
I got a butterfly net
|
In which my thoughts I collect
|
Puttin¡¯ the head and heart to the test to come with something better
|
|
(Bridge)
|
When the tongues start waggin
|
yeah yeah
|
It burns fire like dragon
|
yeah yeah
|
I don¡¯t want to be havin
|
That on my conscience, no
|
I remember, I remember
|
Said the mother, to the daughter
|
¡°If you don¡¯t have nothin nice to say then don¡¯t say nothing at all¡±
|
|
(Chorus)
|
Before I say something I regret I
|
Need a moment to reflect I¡¯d
|
Like to keep my foot out of my mouth
|
And not be speakin¡¯ out my neck
|
And not say it just to be sayin¡¯ it
|
I got a butterfly net
|
In which my thoughts I collect
|
Puttin¡¯ the head and heart to the test to come with something better
|
|
To come with something better, to come with something better
|
To come with something better, to come with something better
|
To reflect
|
|
Puttin¡¯ the head and heart to the test to come with something better (x12)
|
|
To come with better yea
|
