Shot down by your bullets They shatter my faith and my bones If you listen the words, they hurt They creep right under my skin, they cut 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 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 why we are tearing us apart But I can feel the cracks, the cracks in my heart, whoa
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 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
