Sticks & Stones

Every time you hurt me
Swear you only do it out of love
But every word is poison
And every broken promise etched in blood

Your sticks and stones (Sticks and stones)
May break my bones (Break my bones)
But your words tear me apart!
Your sticks and stones (Sticks and stones)
May break my bones (Break my bones)
But your words will break my heart in two!

Seed of doubts you've planted
Festers in the corners of my mind
Nurtured in the shadows
Growing into thoughts of suicide

Your sticks and stones (Sticks and stones)
May break my bones (Break my bones)
But your words tear me apart!
Your sticks and stones (Sticks and stones)
May break my bones (Break my bones)
But your words will break my heart in two!

Every time I fail you
I carve another story in my arm
If you could read my future
Tragedy is written in the scars

Your sticks and stones (Sticks and stones)
May break my bones (Break my bones)
But your words tear me apart!
Your sticks and stones (Sticks and stones)
May break my bones (Break my bones)
But your words will break my heart...

Your sticks and stones (Sticks and stones)
May break my bones (Break my bones)
But your words tear me apart!
Your sticks and stones (Sticks and stones)
May break my bones (Break my bones)
But your words will break my heart in two!
