Jason Reeves - Sticks & Stones Lyrics






Tell me what I did
To push you off the cliff
You can try to take my hand
But I’m not coming with you

Say what you like
Just look me in the eye
You can pull out your knife
It’s not as sharp as mine

Oh, Sticks and stones
Are never gonna break me
Never gonna hurt me
Never gonna shake me out
I’m a rock at the top
Never breaking
Try what you want
But you’re never gonna take me
Down, down, down
Try, try but you’re never gonna take me
Down, down, down
Give it up
You should know by now

I don’t want protection
If it’s with conditions
Took a new direction
Losing all conviction

Say what you like
Just look me in the eye
You can pull out your knife
It’s not as sharp as mine

Oh, Sticks and stones
Are never gonna break me
Never gonna hurt me
Never gonna shake me out
I’m a rock at the top
Never breaking
Try what you want
But you're never gonna take me
Down, down, down
Try, try but you’re never gonna take me
Down, down, down
Give it up
You should know by now

Don’t you play the fool
I know you want revenge
There’s no use pretending
I know what you did

Oh, Sticks and stones
Are never gonna break me
Never gonna hurt me
Never gonna shake me out
I’m a rock at the top
Never breaking
Try what you want
But you’re never gonna take me
Down, down, down
Try, try but you’re never gonna take me
Down, down, down
Give it up
You should know by now

Sticks and stones
Are never gonna break me
Never gonna hurt me
Never gonna shake me out
I’m a rock at the top
Never breaking
Try what you want
But you’re never gonna take me
Down, down, down
Try, try but you’re never gonna take me
Down, down, down
Give it up
You should know by now

Give it up
You should know by now
Hey
Hey

Sticks and Stones
Sticks and Stones
Sticks and Stones
Sticks and Stones

  66. M.... A....

    Jason this is awesome. Your music never ceases to amaze me. You are a real inspiration to many people including me. When I first heard "Pretty Eyes" I wanted to learn how to sing and play an instrument. I taught myself pretty much everything I know and I have a long way to go and I just want to thank you for writing truly genuine, meaningful songs. You, Tyrone, and Colbie are the biggest inspirations to me and many of my friends. Keep doing your thing :)

  73. L.... ....

    even though I prefer the indie stuff I still support him, I'm so glad he got signed with Warner. I'm just so grateful for the amazing music he has made. Sincerely, one of the best songwriters.

    AMAZING.

  91. A.... E....

    Love all your music it inspires me :)

  92. g.... ....

    yea... i agree with you all, this is like it's for the market or somethin, i love his folk songs. but this is not that bad either

  93. T.... ....

    I really love Jason Reeves music,but this is not the music I fell in love with.I love his old folk sound like Photographs and Memories and New Hampshire.I don't think I like this new pop sound.

  94. T.... ....

    I really love Jason Reeves music,but this is not the music I fell in love with.I love his old folk sound like Photographs and Memories and New Hampshire.

  95. Y.... ....

    I must admit, I didn't like it at first. It has WAY too much pop opposed to the acoustic/folk I fell in love with. But with another listen, and another, and another, it's growing on me...

    Keep it up Jason!

  96. m.... ....

    Saw the live version at The Hub last night. Much better than this. Hopefully someone posts a video.

  97. C.... D....

    I've been a Jason fan for the longest time and people are saying this stuff is not what he is about. I personally love that he is expanding his musical horizon and i enjoy this new Jason. The old him isnt too bad though.

  98. T.... ....

    I am currently abusing the replay button. His flow is so sick on this song!!!!
