Sticks & Stones

Lyrics

[Intro] Sticks and stones won't break my bones And words will never hurt me [Verse 1] You—You work so hard To play the part But I see straight through your house of cards The walls so thin They're caving in So come on tell me again Who's… [Pre-Chorus] Power less, power less You told me I'm powerless Ain't adding up, adding up This story ain't adding up Who's powerless, powerless It's not me, it never was And I'm rising up Ooh, ohhh [Chorus] I hope, I hope it burns I'm gonna teach you lessons you never learned You wanna break a heart that is stronger than your own You're gonna need more than sticks and stones Sticks and stonеs won't break my bones And words will nevеr hurt me [Verse 2] I—I won't back down So run your mouth Let's see how quickly your breath runs out If you want war, I'll give you more So come on tell me again Who's… [Pre-Chorus] Power less, power less You told me I'm powerless Ain't adding up, adding up This story ain't adding up Who's powerless, powerless It's not me, it never was And I'm rising up Ooh, ohhh [Chorus] I hope, I hope it burns I'm gonna teach you lessons you never learned You wanna break a heart that is stronger than your own You're gonna need more than sticks and stones I know, I know you'll see You'll never have the hate to measure up to me You wanna crawl your way out the grave You made your home You're gonna need more than sticks and stones Sticks and stones won't break my bones (sticks and stones) And words will never hurt me [Bridge] Oh no there you go again Little boy playing a man Try to fool me but you can't (Ooh oohh) Oh no there you go again Begging for your innocence I won't ever make amends (Ooh oohh) [Chorus] I hope, I hope it burns (I'm gonna) Teach you lessons you never learned You wanna break a heart that is stronger than your own You're gonna need more that sticks and stones I know, I know you'll see You'll never have the height to measure up to me You wanna crawl your way out the grave You made your home You're gonna need more than sticks and stones
