Sticks and Stones

Songbird

Sticks and stones may break my bones

But words will never hurt me

 

What they say is lies

It makes me want to cry

Because words will always hurt me

 

Sticks and stones can't even make me me moan

But words can make me scream

 

Don't trust a soul 

Away you must pull

For all their words are themed

 

They make rhyming quotes

And shove them down your throat

But their words are hardly truthful

 

Yes sticks and stones can break my bones

But words can crush my soul

 

The soul goes out

And the mind fills with doubt

Words will always pain me

 

As you go on

Keep this in your head like a song

Words can kill on the count of three
