This is about having a relationship with someone, who you don’t really trust especially after all the bad things they’ve said about you. You try to avoid getting close to them but they’ve just got the looks that can kill.
[Intro]
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But you could never hurt me
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But you could never hurt me
[Verse 1]
This is the part when I shut you out
Trying so hard to shut my mouth
Why do I feel drunk with love
You're right, it's time to pull the plug
[Pre-Chorus]
If they never get close to you
Then it's never gonna hurt
If they never get close to you
(Get close to you, get close to you)
[Chorus]
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But you could never hurt me
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But you could never hurt me
How do you stay beautiful in this ugly world
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But you know how to kill me, girl
[Verse 2]
This is the part when I let you go
Put these walls up
They fall like dominoes
I just smile and pretend
Why can't I be fine as friends
[Pre-Chorus]
If they never get close to you
Then it's never gonna hurt
If they never get close to you
(Get close to you, get close to you)
[Chorus]
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But you could never hurt me
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But you could never hurt me
How do you stay beautiful in this ugly world
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But you know how to kill me, girl
[Pre-Chorus]
If they never get close to you
Then it's never gonna hurt
If they never get close to you
(Get close to you, get close to you)
[Chorus]
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But you could never hurt me
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But you could never hurt me
How do you stay beautiful in this ugly world
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But you know how to kill me, girl

It’s about ending a relationship but the more you try to move on, the more you can’t forget. You go through the motions of shutting someone out but they are still that one person you can’t let go of.
