Story behind the song
I Grew up in a very unloving home, and I was just remembering the things i'd heard growing up and wrote this song about it.
Lyrics
Sticks and Stones
Sticks and stones may break my bones
but words will never hurt me;
well you didn't grow up like i did
the words i heard cut like a knife and broke my heart
when i was just a kid
I'd rather feel the sticks and stones
than to hear "I wish you'd never been born
or to hear; "you'll never be nothing"
cause those words have echoed through these years
and have made me taste so many tears
as i see how true they are becoming
how so true they are becoming
so go on and throw your stones at me
break my bones and make me bleed
if it makes you feel better
you say i'm lost and can't be found
as you so arrogantly stand your ground
and condemn me to hell with God's letters
I'd rather feel physical pain
than to hear you say i've shamed his name
or to hear Him say "I never knew you"
but when i'm cast out with the goats
will you be standing there to gloat
knowing this was something else i couldn't do
it was just something else i couldn't do
bridge:
you speak your words so flippantly
without a single care of casualties
cause to say what you say makes you feel so right
so point your finger if you dare
i won't lie and say "I don't care"
cause your words still cut me like a knife
yes your words still cut me like a knife
So i'd rather feel your sticks and stones
than to hear "i wish you'd never been born"
or to hear "you'll never be nothing"
cause those words have echoed through these years
and have made me tasted so many tears
as i see how true they are becoming
how so true they are becoming
