My Ugly Mouth Lyrics

I actually wrote this song with no intention of anyone ever hearing it. I wrote it for my little sister, Jade. One day, after I came home to my family's house to visit, I remember one night I got in a really big fight with her and said some really, really awful things, not to mention yell, (which I hardly ever do. Yelling is for animals is what my dad always told me when I was younger). Anyway, after the fight was over, (and I was leaving the next day, since it was just a family visit), I felt awful. (Not to mention, the fight was over ridiculously trivial things). I thought to myself, "Goodness Dia! You're almost 23 and she's only 17 and I can't believe you acted like that! I'm so disappointed in you. You should know better...you're old enough to know better. ETC. And things like that kept going in my head. I wanted to call her up and say sorry. I wanted to write her a note and say sorry. But I didn't really know how to say any of it, because nothing I thought of saying sounded genuine in my head. I tried to write an e-mail but that sounded silly too. I just felt foolish for actually having a fight like that still with a sibling. When you're older, those pulling hair and pinching fights are supposed to stop. (We didn't actually physically do that, but we might as well have). Anyone, I sat down at my computer, pulled my little recording device up and got a piano and wrote, "My Ugly Mouth"." It was a rough recording, but instead of calling or emailing, I sent that song to her, no note, no explanation, just an attachment. She wrote me back a week later saying she couldn't stop listening to it and that she loved me. Sometimes songs say it best. Read more: #ixzz105uf1M68
