Sticks and Stones

staceyhelfman

Verse 1

I fell for your warm embrace

I craved your soft kisses on my face

You made me feel so safe

I thought you couldn’t be replaced


Verse 2

I fell for your touch

I craved it so much

You showered me with gifts

I thought I found a prince


Bridge

I fell for you hard

I gave you my heart

But you faked your love language

Your words did so much damage


Chorus

You didn’t need a stick

You didn’t need a stone

Your words did the trick

And cut me to the bone


Verse 3

I started doubting myself

And believed all your lies

I couldn’t recognize the truth

Even with my own eyes


Verse 4

I apologized, I was always wrong

I tried to please you for all you’d done

At times I thought your love was strong

At others I wondered what I had become


Chorus

You didn’t need a stick

You didn’t need a stone

Your words did the trick

And cut me to the bone


Verse 5

The flowers, the kisses

The tight embrace

Were doled out in increments

If I knew my place


Chorus

You didn’t need a stick

You didn’t need a stone

Your words did the trick

And cut me to the bone


Verse 6

I looked in a mirror

And for a second I saw

The woman I was

She wasn’t that far


Verse 7

I gathered up the gifts

Put them into a pile

Lit them on fire

And felt myself smile


Chorus

You didn’t need a stick

You didn’t need a stone

Your words did the trick

And cut me to the bone


Outro

And now you are alone
