My Mouth

sorry i hurt your feelings
when i opened my mouth without thinking.
i go off half cocked alot.
i've tried to stop,
but like a ticking time bomb,
i always explode!

my mouth is my doom.
it brings me pleasure
and causes me heartache too.
i talk more then i should.
i say things that should never be heard.
my mouth tells lies.
my mouth tells truth.
my mouth opens and chaos ensues.

sorry i made you cry
when i said good bye.
i wasn't thinking of you.
i'm selfish and cruel.
i've tried to stop,
but like a bullet shot from a gun,
my triggers already been pulled.

my mouth is on automatic pilot.
i never know what it'll do.
i've prayed for God to make me mute.
i want to play well with others,
but my mouth interfers.
it utters inappropiate comments
and my mouth suffers from a foot disease.

i'm tired of always apologizing.
i have run out of excuses to give.
this is how i've always been.
i was late to speak,
but i haven't shut up since.
so tune me out or toughen up,
because my mouth will strike again!
