Farryl Purkiss - Sticks and Stones Lyrics

Walking on a broken line down a narrow road
Towards a street sign that looks a lot like mine
I'm not okay with all the things that they've said
It soaks in me just like butter on bread

But now when it's all true
I'd steal the stars for you
Just one big fight that Sunday night left me
Wondering

They say sticks and stones will break your bones and that words will never harm you
Please take two steps back and take a look at yourself
And tell me that's true 'cause
I don't seem to recognise
The look on your face
I don't seem to
Comprehend
It's gone without a trace

Holding onto borrowed time
Standing on a thin red line
And though I say and though I do and though I don't know what I choose
Safe to say
It's a childish game we play

You won't stay young forever
You won't stay young forever
You won't stay young forever
True
You won't stay young forever
You can't stay young forever
You won't stay young forever
True

And you
Still got a lot to lose

But now when it's all true
I'd steal the stars for you
Just one big fight that Sunday night left me
Wondering
