Sticks And Stones Lyrics - Nelly Furtado

Shot down by your bullets 

They shatter my face and my bones 

If you listen 

Words, they hurt 

They creep right under my skin 

They cut so deep 

Oh 

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 

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 

While we're 

Tearing us apart 

But I can feel the cracks 

The cracks in my heart 

Oh 

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 

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 

Why does it have to be so hard to surrender 

When we've 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 

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 

Sticks and stones 

Sticks and stones
