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 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 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 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
