Things I've Said (Bigmouth Strikes Again)

Music and Lyric by David W. Jacobsen
Copyright 2019 - 2022. All Rights Reserved.

Once again I have fucked up
Once again I feel this way
You'd think by now
I'd learn but no

I recall every dumb
Stupid thing I've ever said
I think that I will still
Feel guilty even when I am dead
Where you make your bed,
That's where you're gonna lay your head

Once again I feel the stares
Once again it is my fault
Yes yes I know
It's time to go

I recall every dumb
Stupid thing I've ever said
I think that I will still
Feel guilty even when I am dead
Where you make your bed,
That's where you're gonna lay your head

The things most regrettable
They seem the most unforgettable
Haunting me

The words most poorly chosen
They seem forever frozen
Haunting me

My words like a fist
And something broke
My foot's in my mouth
One day I'll choke

Once again I have loused up
Once again I am wincing
Fouled, flubbed, botched it
Blundered, mucked, I admit

I recall all the times
I fucked up in ways I can't fix
Sometimes your words
Hurt more than stones and sticks
I think of an utterance
And know that it did inflict

I recall every dumb
Stupid thing I've ever said
I think that I will still
Feel guilty even when I am dead
Where you make your bed,
Is where you're gonna lay your head

Once again I have fucked up

Notes:

Bigmouth strikes again ... How often have you winced even just thinking of something idiotic you said? Usually, it just made you feel like a fool, but every now and then, the words cut deeper than you even knew. And it is much, much worse when you do know. But we do what we do and we accept the consequences and life goes on. And we try to do better. And we do it again.
