We Sang Sticks and Stones Could Hurt Someone

We sang sticks and stones could hurt someone And words could never hurt us But from his words we’ve come undone We never thought he’d hurt us You gotta go and don’t be back You can’t take one more hack He’ll be rolling off your back Clear on out and be on track How many chances does he get How many bombs does he set He’s already lost your respect Just leave it be, it’s simple yes We sang sticks and stones could hurt someone And words could never hurt us But from his words we’ve come undone We never thought he’d hurt us Walk away and leave it behind All those times he’s been unkind Girl there are no victimless crimes Even with no mark to find Happy is not in his dark place Girl just go and find your space Your life it can’t be replaced You’re a treasure to be praised We sang sticks and stones could hurt someone And words could never hurt us But from his words we’ve come undone We never thought he’d hurt us You’re so much better on your own Don’t need a man now girl you’re grown Let those ashes burn his thrown Don’t look back you’re almost gone Come on girl and take my hand Together now we’re leaving him Don’t look back you’re almost gone Don’t look back you’re almost home May 4, 2021
