(Verse)
There was a man
He had a thought
He couldnât keep it to himself
Though he ought
He spread it âround knowing that
Mouths would run like water
And turn it into fact
(Pre-Chorus)
This is how wars begin
This is how bombs start droppin
If it begins with stopping I will, I will
(Chorus)
Before I say something I regret I
Need a moment to reflect Iâd
Like to keep my foot out of my mouth
And not be speakinâ out my neck
And not say it just to be sayinâ it
I got a butterfly net
In which my thoughts I collect
Puttinâ the head and heart to the test to come with something better
(Verse)
If a thought is an opinion
To the truth it has no relation
But many mouths want attention
Intoxicated by the feelin of getting some
(Pre-Chorus)
This is how wars begin
This is how hearts get broken
If it begins with stopping I will, I will
(Chorus)
Before I say something I regret I
Need a moment to reflect Iâd
Like to keep my foot out of my mouth
And not be speakinâ out my neck
And not say it just to be sayinâ it
I got a butterfly net
In which my thoughts I collect
Puttinâ the head and heart to the test to come with something better
(Bridge)
When the tongues start waggin
yeah yeah
It burns fire like dragon
yeah yeah
I donât want to be havin
That on my conscience, no
I remember, I remember
Said the mother, to the daughter
âIf you donât have nothin nice to say then donât say nothing at allâ
(Chorus)
Before I say something I regret I
Need a moment to reflect Iâd
Like to keep my foot out of my mouth
And not be speakinâ out my neck
And not say it just to be sayinâ it
I got a butterfly net
In which my thoughts I collect
Puttinâ the head and heart to the test to come with something better
To come with something better, to come with something better
To come with something better, to come with something better
To reflect
Puttinâ the head and heart to the test to come with something better (x12)
To come with better yea
