Sticks & Stones - By Mandy Rowden (BMI)

It probably feels silly now how you thought it would last forever
But it didn’t feel silly back then and there’s no way you could have known better
Bullets can’t hold a candle to the pain when that first love ends
But there had to be a better way to make amends

CHORUS:
What else were you supposed to do? 
It was so fucked up how he broke it to you
I watched you shudder, I watched you shaken down to your bones
Some days you’d give anything for sticks and stones
Some days you’d give anything for sticks and stones

And so it had ended, like these things do
But he didn’t soften the blow just because he told you the truth
When he said he couldn’t do it he just meant he couldn’t do it with you
The tempest roared and the windows rattled and he shook you through and through

CHORUS

Is it better to wonder, is it better to know
You’d find out sooner or later, she was starting to show
Saying goodby is hard enough without a slap in the face
You could have gone either way and you chose grace

CHORUS
