Sticks and Stones (1996 Digital Remaster)

Say what you want to
I'm changing no more for you
It didn't turn out the way it was supposed to

If you don't understand then you won't know where i've been
If you won't then there's no point for me even begin to tell you

Somethings are better left unsaid
Despite the desperation in my head
Somethings are better left alone
But i'm left with no words
And all i want to do is shout out loud

All the sticks and stones that you've been throwing at me
How they're killing me, oh why
Every night i try to sleep
Toss and turn in my bed
Thoughts ring out in my head
And i got to get away from here
From the voice that i find ways to poison my mind
For i never thought that i would be
The one breaking my track, the one pulling me back
I'm killing me
I'm killing me

I said what you want to
Now i've done what i've done
'cause though i've tried to be real
But that's just left me undone

All this pain that i feel will leave a stain on my skin
And the marks that they leave expose the shadows within
I'll show you

I wish that things were better left unsaid
I wish that there was peace inside my head
I guess that we are better left alone
'cause if i find the right words i know i'll have to shout them out

All the sticks and stones that you've been throwing at me
How they're killing me, oh why
Every night i try to sleep
Toss and turn in my bed
Thoughts ring out in my head
And i got to get away from here
From the voice that i find ways to poison my mind
For i never thought that i would be
The one breaking my track, the one pulling me back
I'm killing me

I'm killing me

I'm killing me

All the sticks and stones that you've been throwing at me
How they're killing me, oh why
Every night i try to sleep
Toss and turn in my bed
Thoughts ring out in my head i'm killing me
