Sticks & Stones

[Verse 1]
Shot down, by your bullets
They shatter, my faith and my bones
If you would listen, your words they hurt
They creep right under my skin
They cut so deep, oh

[Hook]
Can't you understand
I don't want battles, battles, battles
And if you 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

[Verse 2]
We crash and fall, together
So sad, we don't remember
Why we're tearing us apart
When I can feel the cries, the cries in my heart

[Hook]
Can't you understand
I don't want battles, battles, battles
And if you 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

[Break]
Why does it have to be so hard just surrender
When we got nothing left, nothing left to loose

[Hook]
Can't you understand
I don't want battles, battles, battles
And if you 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
