Kill A Word Lyrics - Eric Church

1 If I could kill a word and watch it die

2 I'd poison "never," shoot goodbye

3 Beat "regret" when I felt I had the nerve

4 Yeah, I'd pound "fear" to a pile of sand

5 Choke "lonely" out with my bare hands

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

7 If I could only kill a word

8 I'd take "brokeness" out back

9 And break "heartbreak," stand there and laugh

10 Right in its face while shootin' it the bird

11 I'd put "upset" down in its place

12 I'd squeeze the life out of "disgrace"

13 Lay "over" under six cold feet of dirt

14 If I could only kill a word

15 If I could only kill a word

16 Give me sticks, give stones

17 Bend my body, break my bones

18 Use staff and rod to turn me black and blue

19 Cause you can't unhear, you can't unsay

20 But if were up to me to change

21 I'd turn "lies" and "hate" to "love" and "truth"

22 If I could only kill a word

23 I'd knock out "temptation"'s teeth

24 I'd sever "evil," let it bleed

25 Then light up "wicked," stand and watch it burn

26 I'd take "vice" and I'd take "vile"

27 Tie 'em up there with "hostile"

28 Hang 'em high and leave 'em for the birds

29 If I could only kill a word

30 So give me sticks, give stones

31 Bend my body, break my bones

32 Use staff and rod to turn me black and blue

33 Cause you can't unhear, you can't unsay

34 But if were up to me to change

35 I'd turn "lies" and "hate" to "love" and "truth"

36 If I could only kill a word

37 If I could only kill a word
