Karaoké Kill a Word Eric Church

If I could kill a word and watch it die

I'd poison never shoot goodbye

And beat regret when I felt I had the nerve

Yeah I'd pound fear into a pile of sand

Choke lonely out with my bare hands

And I'd hang hate so that it can't be heard

If I could only kill a word

Yeah I'd take brokenness out back

And break heartbreak stand there and laugh

Right in its face while shootin' it the bird

I'd put upset down in its place

I'd squeeze the life out of disgrace

Lay over under six cold feet of dirt

If I could only kill a word

Give me sticks

Give me stones

Bend my body

Break my bones

Use staff and rod to turn me black and blue

'Cos you can't unhear you can't unsay

But if they were up to me to change

I'd turn lies and hate to love and truth

If I could only kill a word

Yeah I'd knock out temptation's teeth

I'd sever evil and let it bleed

Light up wicked stand and watch it burn

I'd take vice and I'd take vile

And tie 'em up there with hostile

Hang 'em high and leave 'em for the birds

If I could only kill a word

So give me sticks

Give me stones

Bend my body

Break my bones

Use staff and rod to turn me black and blue

'Cos you can't unhear you can't unsay

But if they were up to me to change

I'd turn lies and hate to love and truth

If I could only kill a word

If I could only kill a word
