Dave Barnes - Sticks And Stones lyrics

You would have kept those words on your tongue If you had known the hurt they had done While your fists stayed right Right by your side Your words, they bruise me deep inside I'd rather have sticks and stones And broken bones Then the words you say to me Cause I know bruises heal And cuts will seal But your words beat the life out of me Sometimes your words are thick as lead You swing them strong upside my head What hasn't k**ed has made me strong So I'll take my scars and move along I'd rather have sticks and stones And broken bones Then the words you say to me Cause I know bruises heal And cuts will seal But your words beat the life out of me Goodbye is the best way that I know To forgive and still be letting go I'd rather have sticks and stones And broken bones Then the words you say to me Cause I know bruises heal And cuts will seal But your words beat the life out of me
