Sticks and Stones

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 to even begin to tell you

Some things are better left unsaid
Despite the desperation in my head
Some things are better left alone
But I'm left with no words
And all I wanna do is shout out loud

All the sticks and stones
That you keep throwing at me
How they're killing me
Oh, why?
Every night I try to sleep
Toss and turn in my bed
Words 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 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 keep throwing at me
How they're killing me
Oh, why?
Every night I try to sleep
Toss and turn in my bed
Words 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 keep 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
