When sticks and stones, skeleton bones
Get thrown and break apart the very heart of a home,
The louder you shout, you cuss each other out
It's get hard to figure out what you're fighting about.
Sticks and stones, now she's gone
Because the words you say they hurt her.

Listen! It's hard to be a man,
You could never fall off of your pose
Have your emotions, keep your enemies close
And the ones we love the most they never know it
'Cause he get all cut up, chasin' paper and never show it,
But she'll stay up and wait, for you to walk in late
Then ask you, where you been, now here we go again
When she know that you've been out hustling,
But you don't think like arguing I'm fussing, no

Oh no no,
No, just put that hand back there ain't no need for that
And that's for real, real, for real
My words last for days, just tell her how you feel

When sticks and stones, skeleton bones
Get thrown and break apart the very heart of a home,
The louder you shout, you cuss each other out
It's get hard to figure out what you're fighting about.
Sticks and stones, now she's gone
Because the words you say they hurt her.

It's hard to be a man
You can never buckle under the stress
Can't make excuses, you'll get put to the test
Can't think and drink just a mile out the voices,
Of all the bad choices you make
But she'll stay up and wait, for you to walk in late
And ask you where you been and here we go again
When she knows that you been out hustling
And you don't feel like arguing or fussing
No, no no, no no.

Oh no no,
No, just put that hand back there ain't no need for that
And that's for real, real, for real
My words last for days, just tell her how you feel

When sticks and stones, skeleton bones
Get thrown and break apart the very heart of a home,
The louder you shout, you cuss each other out
It's get hard to figure out what you're fighting about.
Sticks and stones, now she's gone
Because the words you say they hurt her.

Shes crying on the floor
Before you knew it, now you got the cops outside your door
Nosey neighbours watching and she told you once before
She couldn't take it any longer but instead you just ignored her heart
So now she's packing and leaving

Sticks and stones, now she's gone
Because the words you say they hurt her.
