Shot down by your bullets They shatter my face and my bones If you listen to words, it hurts They creep right under my skin, it cuts so deep Can’t you understand I don’t want battles, battles, battles? And if lay them in my hand, I won’t fight battles, battles, battles 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 While we’re tearing us apart But I can feel the cracks, the cracks in my heart Can’t you understand I don’t want battles, battles, battles? And if lay them in my hand, I won’t fight battles, battles, battles Tell me why we work so hard to break these bones Can we try to lay down these sticks and stones? Sticks and stones Why does it have to be so hard to surrender? Well, we got nothing left, nothing left to lose, lose Can’t you understand I don’t want battles, battles, battles? And if lay them in my hand, I won’t fight battles, battles, battles Tell me why we work so hard to break these bones Can we try to lay down these sticks and stones? Sticks and stones Sticks and stones Sticks and stones
