Sticks and Stones
If you have to hurt me
please throw sticks and stones
I can't handle internal pain
but I can deal with a few broken bones
My physical wounds
will someday heal
you must realize
my broken heart never will
Doctors can give me medicine
They say thats all it takes
but only you have the power
to ease this heartache
Doctors can even replace
some organs on the inside
but nothing can take the place
when a soul has died
So please use sticks and stones
if you must commit this crime
because your painful words
leave scars that last a lifetime.

but nothing can take the place
when a soul has died
So please use sticks and stones
if you must commit this crime
because your painful words
leave scars that last a lifetime.
