Will you lie in the wake staring up at the ceiling Or was it only me who had trouble sleeping? Did you feel any pain when the words came out easy? In the heat of the moment you left me freezing I'm picking through the mess that we made And I put your broken pieces in place But I can't put back the things that you say I've been told the sticks and stones that break your bones But it's the words you throw that hurt the most, that hurt the most I've been told the sticks and stones that leave you broke But it's the words you throw that hurt the most So I'll take the sticks and stones So I'll take the sticks and stones Your walls are too high for me to even climb up They don't make any ladders that take me that high up And your feelings are buried so deep I can't find them Guess I'll start digging, keep on forgiving till somebody gives in I'm picking through the mess that we made And I put your broken pieces in place But I can't put back the things that you say I've been told the sticks and stones that break your bones But it's the words you throw that hurt the most, that hurt the most I've been told the sticks and stones that leave you broke But it's the words you throw that hurt the most So I'll take the sticks and stones So I'll take the sticks and stones I've been told the sticks and stones that break your bones But it's the words you throw that hurt the most, that hurt the most I've been told the sticks and stones that leave you broke But it's the words you throw that hurt the most So I'll take the sticks and stones So I'll take the sticks and stones Were you lying awake staring up at the ceiling? Or was it only me who had trouble sleeping?
