Sticks & Stones
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I’m a victim of your pain
But I have no one else to blame but me
There were choices guaranteed
I closed my eyes, and turned the other cheek
Sticks and Stones may break my bones
But words will never hurt me so they say
Oh well, yours hurt like hell
You don’t own me - I am free
I’ll take the high road and pray that it takes me
Company loved misery
Until it chose to change the scenery
Sticks and Stones may break my bones
But words will never hurt me so they say
Oh well, yours hurt like hell
I’m a fighter on the mend
And I will rise above the world you spin
You fail, I wish you well
I’m letting go of you - I’m letting go of me
I’m letting go of all the things that hold me down emphatically
I’m letting go of time – I’m letting go of space
I’m letting go of all the waste I’ve carried to this place
Sticks and Stones may break my bones
But words will never hurt me so they say
Oh well, yours hurt like hell
I’m a fighter to the end
I have rose above the world you spin
You fail, I wish you well
