Sticks and Stones
Shot down by your bullets
They shatter my faith and my bones
If you listen to words, they hurt, they creep
Right under my skin, they cut so deep, oh-oh
Can't you understand I don't want battles, battles, battles?
And if you laid them in my hand, I won't fight battles, battles, battles
Oh, tell me why we work so hard to break these bones
Can we try to lay down these sticks and stones?
Sticks and stones
We crash and fall together
So sad, we don't remember
Why we're tearing us apart
But I can feel the cracks, the cracks in my heart, whoa
Can't you understand I don't want battles, battles, battles?
And if you laid them in my hand, I won't fight battles, battles, battles
Oh, tell me why we work so hard to break these bones
Can we try to lay down these sticks and stones?
Sticks and stones
Why does it have to be so hard to surrender
When we got nothing left, nothing left to lose?
Lose
Can't you understand I don't want battles, battles, battles?
And if you'd lay them in my hand, I won't fight battles, battles, battles
Oh, tell me why we work so hard to break these bones
Can we try to lay down these sticks and stones?
Sticks and stones
Sticks and stones
Sticks and stones
They shatter my faith and my bones
If you listen to words, they hurt, they creep
Right under my skin, they cut so deep, oh-oh
Can't you understand I don't want battles, battles, battles?
And if you laid them in my hand, I won't fight battles, battles, battles
Oh, tell me why we work so hard to break these bones
Can we try to lay down these sticks and stones?
Sticks and stones
We crash and fall together
So sad, we don't remember
Why we're tearing us apart
But I can feel the cracks, the cracks in my heart, whoa
Can't you understand I don't want battles, battles, battles?
And if you laid them in my hand, I won't fight battles, battles, battles
Oh, tell me why we work so hard to break these bones
Can we try to lay down these sticks and stones?
Sticks and stones
Why does it have to be so hard to surrender
When we got nothing left, nothing left to lose?
Lose
Can't you understand I don't want battles, battles, battles?
And if you'd lay them in my hand, I won't fight battles, battles, battles
Oh, tell me why we work so hard to break these bones
Can we try to lay down these sticks and stones?
Sticks and stones
Sticks and stones
Sticks and stones
