Jessie Reyez - Sticks & Stones lyrics

[Verse 1: Jessie Reyez] I gave you what I could (x3) But my everything, wasn't good enough for you I never understood (x3) How you could ask for the world I got it but, you said it wasn't big enough for you [Pre-Hook: Jessie Reyez] I broke my back Just to break your neck But you broke my heart With the words you said "You ain't enough" "You ain't the one" [Hook: Jessie Reyez] Sticks and stones Break nothing that I can't break on my own Sticks and stones Sticks and stones Hurt nothing like the pain you caused my soul Sticks and stones [Verse 2: Jessie Reyez] I always tried to make you smile (x3) But it never stayed on your face No matter how hard I tried I've don' given you my life (x3) But if I slipped away You wouldn't even wave I doubt I'd get a goodbye [Pre-Hook: Jessie Reyez] I broke my back Just to break your neck But you broke my heart With the words you said "You ain't enough" "You ain't the one" [Hook: Jessie Reyez] Sticks and stones Break nothing that I can't break on my own Sticks and stones Sticks and stones Hurt nothing like the pain you caused my soul Sticks and stones [Bridge: Jessie Reyez + Derin Falana] Cause you always break my bones Cause you always break my bones You always break my bones Cause you always break my bones (yeah) Cause you always break my bones [Verse 3: Derin Falana] Yeah, stones, you forgot the sticks They can't do much I mean, unless you droppin' bricks If it ain't broke you know, they usually tell us "Not to fix" You throw the lowest blows. and they just watch for kicks They turn the sharpest weapon out If the one you got is gla** Then maybe copper's second house Spent forever tryna plant some seeds And still have yet to sprout I'm movin' though See how I'm livin' And I'm finally checking out because I wasted time You played my mind See rain or shine I gave you everything Take what's mine Just wait, I'll find A way to climb Cause you won't ever change You see from my perspective They really reap the benefits of all the time invested It's funny how you never noticed I ever came But then acknowledge lack of presence after I decide to exit I ain't trippin' [Bridge: Adria Kain + Derin Falana] I feel like I'm floating at true existence, I ain't trippin I feel like I'm leaving at the time I feel like I'm forced to break the silence, yeah Is that a crime? Is that a crime? [Outro: Derin Falana] * Phone rings* Your call has been forwarded to a voicemail service that has not been initialized by your company On this path and I don't know which road to take The world is steady resting on my shoulder plate Not to worry though, I'll be back on my feet See as a kid, I used to roller skate Feel like there's no escape We better off the way we was Just hope that no one waits Masked emotions, just don't show your face I never do it I know I do it
