Sticks & Stones
Tried to be honest with you
You just can't handle the truth
Tell me how else can I get through to you?
I don't deserve this mental abuse
And it's all I never wanted
Good intentions turned destructive
But blood's thinner than water it seems
Sticks & Stones may break my bones
But your words will never hurt me
You can make me run with a gun to my back
But the truth will not desert me
I see the devil
she's still under your skin
I refuse to let her win
Go ahead and punish me for your sins
And keep on throwing sticks and stones
All I never wanted
Blood's thinner than water
I've chosen a battle
You're fighting a war
To prove that you're better
Or settle the score
We're running in circles
Can't see eye to eye
Does it make you feel better
To watch me cry?
And all I ever wanted was to love you and be honest
But blood's thinner than water it seems
Sticks & Stones may break my bones
But your words will never hurt me
You can make me run with a gun to my back
But the truth will not desert me
I see the devil
she's still under your skin
I refuse to let her win
Go ahead and punish me for your sins
And keep on throwing sticks and stones
I'm not a traitor despite what you may say
You paint me the Villain
The Victim you play
You failed to control me and it's driving you insane
Bet you don't know that two can play this game
Ashes and Flames
Sticks & Stones may break my bones
But your words will never hurt me
You can make me run with a gun to my back
But the truth will not desert me
I see the devil
she's still under your skin
I refuse to let her win
Go ahead and punish me for your sins
And keep on throwing sticks and stones
All I never wanted (stop trying to hurt me)
Blood's thinner than water
You just can't handle the truth
Tell me how else can I get through to you?
I don't deserve this mental abuse
And it's all I never wanted
Good intentions turned destructive
But blood's thinner than water it seems
Sticks & Stones may break my bones
But your words will never hurt me
You can make me run with a gun to my back
But the truth will not desert me
I see the devil
she's still under your skin
I refuse to let her win
Go ahead and punish me for your sins
And keep on throwing sticks and stones
All I never wanted
Blood's thinner than water
I've chosen a battle
You're fighting a war
To prove that you're better
Or settle the score
We're running in circles
Can't see eye to eye
Does it make you feel better
To watch me cry?
And all I ever wanted was to love you and be honest
But blood's thinner than water it seems
Sticks & Stones may break my bones
But your words will never hurt me
You can make me run with a gun to my back
But the truth will not desert me
I see the devil
she's still under your skin
I refuse to let her win
Go ahead and punish me for your sins
And keep on throwing sticks and stones
I'm not a traitor despite what you may say
You paint me the Villain
The Victim you play
You failed to control me and it's driving you insane
Bet you don't know that two can play this game
Ashes and Flames
Sticks & Stones may break my bones
But your words will never hurt me
You can make me run with a gun to my back
But the truth will not desert me
I see the devil
she's still under your skin
I refuse to let her win
Go ahead and punish me for your sins
And keep on throwing sticks and stones
All I never wanted (stop trying to hurt me)
Blood's thinner than water
