Two people in love with love
one person thought it was done
used some words that cut the other so deep
those words are the memory he keeps

Boys smile tries to remember the good times
They just open up a scar
Everytime another tries to say 'I love you'
He has to wonder just how serious they are
Girl remembers all the good times
the just open up a smile
But when she tries to go back to them
You know what she finds?
She finds a bridge that's been burnin' for a while

What you say can be used against you
No matter what the other one said
A sword that cuts leaves a scar forever
When that sword is the last word said
What you say can be used against you
This ain't no court of law
It's the highway of life and the bridge you burn
Just might be the only way home

Daughter got an 'A' today
Teacher said she should be proud
Brought it homw with a smile on
Daddy turned it to a frown
Daughter never got another 'A' again
She didn't want to hurt inside
Teacher lost a chance to teach her
Daddys word killed her pride

What you say can be used against you
No matter what the other one said
A sword that cuts leaves a scar forever
When that sword is the last word said
What you say can be used against you
This ain't no court of law
It's the highway of life and the bridge you burn
Just might be the only way home
