How we sometimes say the wrong thing without realising and the hurt it may have caused others

Cherry lips
Holgate / Henderson / Lang

00.16
I'm on a not too distance shore
the dark clouds gather over head
for some they're too hard to ignore
just like hurtful words I said
00.42
Should have kept it in
& kept it too myself
Never said the things
I never meant to say
The crazy things that
slip from cherry lips
Will still be heard
As if I'd said them yesterday
01.21
It's like they rolled from off my tongue
Without me thinking what they meant
I saw the damage that they?d done
But there was no cruel intent
1.46
Should have kept it in
& kept it too myself
Never said the things
I never meant to say
The crazy things that
slip from cherry lips
Will still be heard
As if I'd said them yesterday

Instrumental

I was so thoughtless with my words
Say you know that I regret
please excuse me if you can
forgive me If you haven't yet
03.16
Should have kept it in
& kept it too myself
Never said the things
I never meant to say
The crazy things that
slip from cherry lips
Will still be heard
As if I'd said them yesterday

It's not the things you do, the things you say
