Shot down by your bullets They shatter my faith 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 you 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 you 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 you 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

Heaven sent this little twitch in my eye I suppose it's just the tip of the ice This feeling's so strong, oh Mama knows that it ain't no surprise If I let go, your words will take on new life What you're saying ain't wrong, no When you take me, I won't go Hesitation overload Bodies break with sticks and stones Incinerate or I won't go Heaven knows these little tricks of mine Won't let go, I'd better make up my mind Before this feeling is gone, no Ooh When you take me, I won't go Obliterate and overthrow Bodies ache from sticks and stones Hesitate and I won't go Oh, how this feeling is strong And what you're saying ain't wrong I suppose I'll let go When you take me, I won't go Hesitation overload Bodies break with sticks and stones Incinerate or I won't go
