Sticks & Stones from Growing Pains by James Harries

Sticks & Stones

I believed in love
But you shook my faith
You stole my heart
But didn’t have the good grace
To give it back
To return it whole
Now I know what it means
To live in a heartless world

You said my crimes were writ up large
You found me guilty but there’s no charge

So stone me for never feeling at home
Come on and stone me
Use all of your sticks and stones

You used to walk on water
You’d let me wash your feet
But now I’m like a fallen daughter
Thrown out on the street
Where no one will touch me
No one comes near
I don’t think that I’ve
Been this happy in years

You said my crimes were writ up large
You found me guilty but there’s no charge

So stone me for never feeling at home
Come on and stone me
Use all of your sticks and stones

I’m disappearing
Trying hard to escape
I’m crossing borders
I’m jumping states
To no avail
Let’s not pretend
It don’t catch up
With you in the end

My crimes were writ up large
You found me guilty but there’s no charge

So stone me for never feeling at home
Come on and stone me
Use all of your sticks and stones
