Sticks & Stones

My flesh and bones
Turn to sticks and stones
I know I'll never be the same
It still hurts me anyway

I've got my eyes sewn shut
Thinkin' bout how I worry way too much
What was left unsaid
Never mattered in the end
I made decisions based on lies and pretend
Will they bury me?

My flesh and bones
Turn to sticks and stones
I know I'll never be the same
But it still hurts me anyway

Try to pick up the pieces of my life
Prying eyes never satisfied
I couldn't please the ones who mattered most
So instead I turned into a ghost

And as i drift into the sky
I say my last goodbye
Left behind the tale is told
Carry me into the unknown

My flesh and bones
Turn to sticks and stones
I know I'll never be the same
But it still hurts me anyway

Tell me that I'm losing touch
Tell me that I shouldn't say too much
I didn't think you would change
(But it still hurts me anyway)

This constant illusion
We're living in
A fallacy so divine
Where time just wears you thin
Looking back to where I was
Throwing caution to the wind
I never really thought I'd make it
To the place where I know I'm destined

My flesh and bones
Turn to sticks and stones
I know I'll never be the same
I know we learn from our mistakes

Lift me off the ground
(We learn from our mistakes)
Take me over now
(But they still hurt us anyway)

Tell me that I'm losing touch
Tell me that I shouldn't say too much
(I didn't think you would change)
I never really thought I'd make it
(But we learn from our mistakes)
To the place where I know I'm destined
