Sticks and Stones

I’ve been awake for a while now
It’s way too late to be thinking ‘bout
All the careless things I’ve done wrong

They see mistakes I’ve been making now
But I’ve been trying to lay ‘em down
Haven’t been myself for so long

Prechorus
It’s been a while since I came to you
I hope you love me no matter what I do
I need somebody, a God to hold on to
Through all the highs and lows

Chorus
They’ve been throwing sticks and stones, oh
I’ve been feeling so alone, oh
I need your help to take control of
The way I live, like the way you did
Yeah, I know that you can give me hope, and
You love me even when I'm broken
You say you’ll never let me go, and
You light my road
And you heal my soul
When they’re throwing their sticks and stones

Got broken bones, and I'm feeling bruised
Somehow I know you can get me through
You’re the only cure for my pain

And when I'm left all on my own
I know that you’re never gonna go
And you’re gonna make it okay

It’s been a while since I came to you
I hope you love me no matter what I do
I need somebody, a God to hold on to
Through all the highs and lows

They’ve been throwing sticks and stones, oh
I’ve been feeling so alone, oh
I need your help to take control of
The way I live, like the way you did
Yeah, I know that you can give me hope, and
You love me even when I'm broken
You say you’ll never let me go, and
You light my road
And you heal my soul
When they’re throwing their sticks and stones

You’re the only one that knows me
You can see the whole thing
And I know that you love me, too
So I'm getting on my knees to make it right with you
You’re the only one that knows me
You can see the whole thing
And I know that you love me, too
I need you

They’ve been throwing sticks and stones, oh
I’ve been feeling so alone, oh
I need your help to take control of
The way I live, like the way you did
Yeah, I know that you can give me hope, and
You love me even when I'm broken
You say you’ll never let me go, and
You light my road
And you heal my soul
When they’re throwing their sticks and stones
Woh
Woh
Wooh
Throwing their sticks and stones
