Think

You set out to destroy that which dared to speak my name
When you found me bound too tight, you tried to bring me shame
If you try to break this spell that's pure and right as rain
What you'll lose is far greater than anything you'll gain

Think before you speak
Breathe before you act
Wait before you burn that bridge
Sometime you just might want it back

Who are you to judge but one that bore me to this place?
How can you right justify your words soaked through with hate?
How can one claim something loved that's clipped and in a cage?
I will never, ever believe one more thing you say.

Think before you speak,
Breathe before you act
Wait before you burn this bridge
Someday you just might want to go back

Over this river that you cannot cross by foot
So when you strike the match be sure you want me gone for good
I am taking my love and I'm taking the high road
I'm not shaking, thinking of your senseless idle throws,
Sticks and stones can break my bones but names will never hurt
In that final chapter, you'll see what they're really worth.

Think before you speak
Breathe before you act
Wait before you burn that bridge
Someday you just might want it back

Think before you speak
Breathe before you act
Wait before you burn me up
Someday you just might want me back.
