Nelly Furtado - Sticks And Stones Lyrics






Shot down by your bullets
They shatter my faith and my bones
If you listen the words, they hurt
They creep right under my skin, they cut so deep

Can't you understand
I don't want battles, battles, battles
And if you lay them in my hand
I won't fight battles, battles, battles
Oh, tell me why we work so hard to break these bones
Can we try to lay down
These sticks and stones
Sticks and stones

We crash and fall together, so sad
We don't remember why we are tearing us apart
But I can feel the cracks, the cracks in my heart, whoa

Can't you understand
I don't want battles, battles, battles
And if you lay them in my hand
I won't fight battles, battles, battles
Oh, tell me why we work so hard to break these bones
Can we try to lay down
These sticks and stones
Sticks and stones

Why does it have to be so hard to surrender
When we got nothing left, nothing left to lose, lose

Can't you understand
I don't want battles, battles, battles
And if you lay them in my hand
I won't fight battles, battles, battles
Oh, tell me why we work so hard to break these bones
Can we try to lay down
These sticks and stones
Sticks and stones
Sticks and stones
Sticks and stones

    Argentina

  85. E.... M....

    best song of the cd The Ride. Vibe's 80's

  86. A.... H....

    Nelly Furtado Sticks and Stones superhit Music Video on VEVO please

  87. A.... G....

    Did she ruined this era on purpose ? The Ride has good tunes like this song and Cold Hard Truth. Strange she picked Pipe Dreams as the single with that terrible video. There is no problem going independent and stop caring about the charts but that doesn't mean ruining your hard work especially when it's good.

    A.... G....

    Alejandro Germanotta pipe dreams não é single. ela não está divulgando músicas específicas.

  88. M.... S....

    Essa música é a melhor música que ouvir em 2017.

  89. Z.... ....

    this is the best song of the album

  90. L.... S....

    Love it!

  91. C.... R....

    Ótima musica1 a melhor do disco <3<3<3

    C.... R....

    Cristiano Ribeiro Concordo, Carnival Games também é muito boa

    C.... R....

    João Pedro sim, na realidade esse álbum está uma delícia.

    C.... R....

    Eu estranhei no começo pq é bem diferente, mas esse álbum com certeza é um dos melhores do ano pra mim. 💗

    C.... R....

    João Pedro também acho, reflete muito nos anteriores ao Loose, e estou curtindo essa vibração menos comercial, afinal ela já é uma artista renomada e não tem q provar nada a ninguém

  92. A.... R....

    Coldplay. eat your heart out....

  93. A.... R....

    so.. not a cover as such.. this is nelly´s song since she co wrote it. read :

    You mentioned “Phoenix” earlier. If I’m interpreting the lyrics correctly, it sounds like you were really back at square one before making the album.
    Yeah. So that kind of kicked off the album. That was the first song I wrote for this album. I was in England recording “Sticks and Stones,” which I co-wrote with Paul Barry. He actually co-wrote “Let It Go” with James Bay. And also Mark Taylor, who co-wrote “Broken Strings” — the song I did with James Morrison. Mark Taylor actually co-wrote “Hero” by Enrique Iglesias and “Believe” by Cher.

    A.... R....

    It is a cover. I think the co-write credit is changing of arrangement and vocal, YouTube Arlissa Sticks and Stones.

  94. P.... T....

    Este cover de Arlissa esta genial !!!

    P.... T....

    No es un cover, Nelly Furtado es una de los escritores de estación, por lo tanto le pertenece.

  95. p.... j....

    Nelly, has vuelto! Creo que tengo canción favorita este 2017.

  96. p.... t....

    nothing more beautiful to hear her voice in new words
