Shot down, by your bullets
They shatter, my faith and my bones
If you would listen, your words they hurt
They creep right under my skin
They cut so deep, oh
Hope you understand, I drove on battles, battles, battles
And if you let them in my hand
I won't fight battles, battles, battles
Oh tell me why
You 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
Why we're tearing us apart
When I can feel the cries, the cries in my heart
Hope you understand, I drove on battles, battles, battles
And if you let them in my hand
I won't fight battles, battles, battles
Oh tell me why
You 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 just surrender
When we got nothing left, nothing left to loose
Hope you understand, I drove on battles, battles, battles
And if you let them in my hand
I won't fight battles, battles, battles
Oh tell me why
You work so hard to break these bones
Can we try, to lay down
These sticks and stones,
Sticks and stones
