Sticks & Stones

I thought you loved me

Turns out you don't

Your words they're all empty

They're sticks and they're stones

I never knew you could be so hurtful

'Cause I thought you loved me

Turns out you don't

I'm feeling awful lately, it's getting hard to save me

I gave you all of myself and that forever changed me

I know the phrase that if it's getting heavy let it go

But your words cut me deep

You got me bruised from sticks and stones

I been feeling so sad inside, used me up to pass your time

Didn't see it in your eyes that everything was filled with lies

Wish I could push away all the memories 'cause they still all hurt

Now I'm just left to pick all the pieces up from putting you first

You started to change, and I was in pain when you were acting distant

I know we had faults but I was in disbelief that we can't just fix it

I guess that you weren't certain

Now my chest is burning all on repeat

You played your games and tied up heart

With all the lies said through your teeth

I guess that you found a better me, trying to forget all the memories

Hurts knowing that we'll never be, I feel like a lesser me

Maybe in time things will be different but I'm better off alone

Used to feel like you were home now you're somebody I don't know

I thought you loved me

Turns out you don't

Your words they're all empty

They're sticks and they're stones

I never knew you could be so hurtful

'Cause I thought you loved me

Turns out you don't

Hard to tell what's real now, lost who I am, I feel down

Hurts knowing you gave your trust and your heart ended up spilled out

Fell on the ground

I wish I knew what your intent was right from the start

When I saw you with somebody else that really hit my stomach hard

And I been feeling like I'm cut apart, think I hit an all-time low

Now I'm always putting up a guard, cold to everybody that I know

Guess this situation really changed me 'cause I prefer to be alone

The ghost of you floats around in my home

To hurt anybody getting too close

Yeah, tired of you playing my head

I been up late in my bed

I just want peace, can't find it

How did you make me so blinded?

These scars you gave to me I can still feel all bleeding through

Lately I been feeling split in two

Wasn't what I thought I would mean to you

I've been on my own now tryna figure out the road now

Working double here all the time my thoughts hurt when I slow down

Like sticks and stones but your words hit a new low

Used to feel like you were home, guess you're someone I've never known

I thought you loved me

Turns out you don't

Your words they're all empty

They're sticks and they're stones

I never knew you could be so hurtful

'Cause I thought you loved me

Turns out you don't
