Words as Weapons Lyrics

I feel your knife as it goes right in
Cut to my core but I'm not bleeding
All that you say trying to make me small
Well, the bigger you get the harder you fall

You use your words as a weapon dear
But your blades don't hurt when you have no fear

You think that you're deep under my skin
You're trying to keep me suffering

If you use your words as a weapon
Then as a weapon, I'll shed no tears

You have my heart but I lock it up
This burning flame has been burnt enough
My window's cracked they can be replaced
But your arm will tire throwing stones my way

You use your words as a weapon dear
But your blades don't hurt when you have no fear

You think that you're deep under my skin
You're trying to keep me suffering

If you use your words as a weapon
Then as a weapon, I'll shed no tears

I feel your knife as it goes right in

You use your words as a weapon dear
But your blades don't hurt when you have no fear

You think that you're deep under my skin
You're trying to keep me suffering

If you use your words as a weapon
Then as a weapon, I'll shed no tears

I'll shed no tears

Words as Weapons

This emotive ballad was written by Birdy with OneRepublic fromtman Ryan Tedder. The pair also collaborated on Fire Within's lead single "Wings." Speaking about the song, Birdy commented: "'Words as Weapons' is one of my favourite tracks on the album and I love performing it live. I love the way the track is layered with harmonies which creates a wall of sound. I'm hugely proud of the song."

The song's music video was directed by Sophie Muller. The British director has also worked on music videos for Björk, Katy B and OneRepublic. Asked by The Idolator about the visuals's concept, Birdy explained: "It's obviously not the true story of the song, but I really wanted a story line. So I'm meant to be a ghost in it. An evil ghost and I'm haunting my ex-boyfriend, who isn't very nice."
