Nelly Furtado - Sticks and Stones

Shot down by your bullets

They shatter my face 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
