Sticks & Stones

I think of yesterday
When all of this was gone and gone away
I breathe an icy breath
Cos boy it's getting cold as death

Try to put on a smile
But inside I could run a mile
You think it's a joke, but I know now

This ain't sticks and stones now
Your words cut and burn now
This ain't sticks and stones now
My shell is cracked, front to back now

How is this desert plain
Forming icicles without a drop of rain?
I'm out here on my own
My head's still sore from your sharp tone

You threw a pebble and
It turned into a boulder as it crashed
You think it's a joke but I know now

This ain't sticks and stones now
Your words cut and burn now
This ain't sticks and stones now
My shell is cracked, front to back

This ain't sticks and stones now
Your words cut and burn now
This ain't sticks and stones now
My shell is cracked, front to back now

Come on look up and say it to my face
I had to hear it from a secret place
Cos you think its a joke but you're hurting me
You think its a joke but I'm no

This ain't sticks and stones now
Your words cut and burn now
This ain't sticks and stones now
My shell is cracked, front to back

This ain't sticks and stones now
Your words cut and burn now
This ain't sticks and stones now
My shell is cracked, front to back

Cos you think its a joke but you're hurting me
You think its a joke but you're hurting me
You think its a joke but you're hurting me
My shell is cracked, front to back now
