Sticks and Stones Lyrics [Verse 1]
When you're young
All the anecdotes
Make you think that life
Wears the sugarcoat
When you're young
They just lie to you
No one tells you what
Goodbyes can do
Chorus]
They say sticks and stones could break my bones
But words'll never hurt me
Just one word is all it took
To stop my world from turnin'
Right now, honestly, I'd rather be
Black and blue or bleedin'
Than to watch you go down that goodbye road
Where are sticks and stones when you need 'em?
[Verse 2]
Wish someone
Would've spelled it out
Could've let me know
How I'd feel right now
Wish someone
Would've told the truth
So be careful who
You listen to
[Chorus]
They said sticks and stones could break my bones
But words could never hurt me
Just one word was all it took
To stop my world from turnin'
Right now, honestly, I'd rather be
Black and blue or bleedin'
Than to watch you go down that goodbye road
Where are sticks and stones when you need 'em?
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
They say sticks and stones could break my bones
But words could never hurt me
Just one word is all it took
To stop my world from turnin'
Right now, honestly, I'd rather be
Black and blue or bleedin'
Than to watch you go down that goodbye road
Where are sticks and stones when you need 'em?
When you need 'em You might also like Embed Cancel
