Sticks And Stones

Shot down by your bullets
 They shatter my faith and my bones
 If you listen to words, they hurt, they creep
 Right under my skin, they cut so deep, oh-oh
 Can't you understand I don't want battles, battles, battles?
 And if you laid 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

 We crash and fall together
 So sad, we don't remember
 Why we're tearing us apart
 But I can feel the cracks, the cracks in my heart, whoa
 Can't you understand I don't want battles, battles, battles?
 And if you laid 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?

 Why does it have to be so hard to surrender
 When we got nothing left, nothing left to lose?

 Lose
 Can't you understand I don't want battles, battles, battles?
 And if you'd 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?
