Sticks and stones can break my bones,
But words can break my heart.
A simple phrase is all it takes
To rip me clean apart.

Your lips can tell me subtle lies,
And now my heart's in two.
The pain you cause isn't worth it at all;
And I don't know what to do.

The words you said spin 'round in my head,
Giving me such an ache;
The pain inside slowly collides -
I don't know how much more I can take.

Actions don't speak but they leave me weak -
It's your words making me feel alone.
Your simple phrase was all I could take...
Give me back the Sticks and Stones.

"Don't hit your kids. No, seriously, they have guns now."
