Sojourner - I Know, I Know Lyrics

I wish cliches didn't exist and
No one felt a pressure to tell their
Friends repeated phrases like mantras
Follow your words with actions not with commas

I believed you when you said to me
You were there if I need somebody
I shouted for you 'cross the valley
Only echoes came back with your well wishes

I know I know
I've heard before
But these empty words
Never got me off the floor

Two cents really doesn't weigh that much
It flicks off the thumb with a light touch
And it hardly costs you anything
Cheap investing simply to get away

Draw your sword and cut into my heart
Take a stab and cut out the bad part
I don't need a surgeon or soldier
If you make a cut but can't get very far

You could tell me that time heals all wounds
I will hear, and though it all rings true
Sometimes words alone just cut into
Where the scar had started to form you
