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
