glenmerle - sticks and stones lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i woke the beast without a plan
out of ammo, no stones left to cast
empty+handed, i ran
i called down lightning, but i’m too scared of the flash

[chorus]
and all i wanted was peace of mind
to be someone you could believe to be kind
still if i measure the world by what it does
but say my intentions are enough
then who am i to judge what’s right?

[verse 2]
how did i get so mean?
it seemed like yesterday that we used to agree
and now my heart’s on my sleeve
there’s no unsowing it without ripping the seam

[chorus]
and i triеd my hardest to turn my cheek
but it’s been three years and i still feel the sting
no mattеr how much i want to believe the best
i always assume the worst instead
and i’m tired of trying to keep the slate clean
[post+chorus]
ooh+ooh, ooh+ooh+ooh
ooh+ooh, ooh
ooh+ooh, ooh+ooh+ooh
ooh+ooh, ooh

[bridge]
sticks and stones may break my bones
but words will destroy my soul
so help me say they know not what they do
and let it go
i’m not even sure i know what i should be standing for
surely how i love my flesh and bloods matters more, oh+oh

[verse 3]
i’ll take the gunpowder out
if it’s not too late to locate common ground
these filthy rags don’t amount
’cause only one judge is fit to wear the gown

[chorus]
and i think he’ll measure by love and time
i think you’ll give account for yours, not for mine
so if four minutes of helping can do more good
than four years spent talking would
i roll up my sleeves instead of debating who is right
i’d rather love and be wrong than do nothing and be right
