Sticks and stones, words we throw
Cut like knives into our bones
Bittersweet on my tongue are your lies
I drink them up
And you taste of cherry wine
You make me foolish every time
But still I stay, still I stay
And you leave without a trace
But something lingers in your wake
It knows my name, my name
You’re like a shot in the dark
Casting shadows, making sounds
And it tears me apart
You left me in pieces on the ground
And I’m crying out
Cause I don’t know how much more
This old heart can take
I’m losing faith
Heavy eyes, soft and kind
Refuse to know your heavy mind
Buried secrets, stolen times
Do not leave a place to hide
You’re like a shot in the dark
Casting shadows, making sounds
And it tears me apart
You left me in pieces on the ground
And I’m crying out
Cause I don’t know how much more
This old heart can take
I’m losing faith
Sticks and stones, words we throw
Cut like knives into our bones
