Sticks & Stones Video (MV)

If I could say the things I'd like to say, you'd probably all leave
Then I'd be left alone again, wearing my heart upon my sleeve
And though you're only here abusing me and all the things I give
I'd rather have a friend who uses me than no one

I hear the things you say behind my back while offering false smiles
Did you all really think I'd fall for it, as though I was a child
You come and go just as you please and never think of who you'll hurt
But who cares anyway, apparently I'm dirt

You took my time
And jaded every line I wrote to you
So know I think I'll write it out and
Show you what I think about you and your games

Your sticks and stone will never break my bones
Your words will have no effect on me

Oh, no
And now to those who give a damn
And those who treat me like a man
I can't express how much I thank you and appreciate
The hand of help you've offered to me time and time again
You make me glad to think there's someone out there
Someone I'd call friend

Their sticks and stones will never break our bones
Their words will have no effect on us
Spreading their false words, hiding behind their lies
They'll never change or break our hearts
