“Just a couple of words can change everything and some days Ive said a couple words too few and Ive said a couple of words too less. And youve said a few words to harsh for me and a few words too sweet for the truth. Because of these few words everything is changed, and everything is ruined. Just a few words can change everything, including my world.”
