[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 fix 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 glass
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
