Sticks & Stones

Every time you hurt me
You swear you only do it out of love
Every word is poison
Every broken promise etched in blood

Your sticks and stones
May break my bones
But your words tear me apart
Your sticks and stones
May break my bones
But your words will break my heart in two

The seed of doubt you've planted
Festers in the corner of my mind
Nurtured in the shadows
Growing into thoughts of suicide

Your sticks and stones
May break my bones
But your words tear me apart
Your sticks and stones
May break my bones
But your words will break my heart in two

Every time I fail you
I carve another story in my arm
Now you can read my future
Tragedy is written in the scars

Your sticks and stones
May break my bones
But your words tear me apart
Your sticks and stones
May break my bones
But your words will break my heart in two
