Tema[]
Esta canción trata sobre una relación tóxica que atravesó alguien en la que se sintió humillado y ofendido. De los versos en su conjunto se desprende claramente que están desvinculando completamente su relación o, para decirlo simplemente, rompiendo con ellos.
"Sticks and Stones" es una rima inglesa para niños. Se pronuncia como disuasivo de los insultos y el abuso verbal. Normalmente, toda la rima se traduce como: " Los palos y las piedras pueden romperme los huesos, pero las palabras nunca me romperán ". Esta es una metáfora que Melanie usó de manera opuesta al escribir la canción.
Letra[]
[Estrofa 1]
I'll never be the Band-Aid on your knee
Our initials won't be in a tree
You won't go down the slide with me
Nothing is the way it used to be
I won't say "bless you" when you sneeze
Won't trade my crayons for anything
You only have fun when you're being mean
Never be invited to my birthday party
[Pre-Coro]
Go ahead and tell on me
No one to tell in reality
Mother always said that
Father always said that
[Coro]
Sticks and stones won't break my bones
The words you spoke destroyed me
Acting like you'rе five years old
I think it's time you lеave me alone
[Post-Coro]
Sticks and stones won't break my bones
Your words will destroy me
[Estrofa 2]
I'll never be a night light when you sleep
Honestly I'm baffled by your immaturity
Stop laughing 'bout the birds and bees
Nothing is the way it used to be
[Pre-Coro]
Go ahead and tell on me
No one to tell in reality
Mother always said that
Father always said that
[Coro]
Sticks and stones won't break my bones
The words you spoke destroyed me
Acting like you're five years old
I think it's time you leave me alone
[Post-Coro]
Sticks and stones won't break my bones
Your words will destroy me
Sticks and stones won't break my bones
Your words will destroy me
[Puente]
Go ahead and tell on me
No one to tell in reality
Mother always said that
Father always said that
Boys like you are dangerous
[Coro]
Sticks and stones won't break my bones
The words you spoke destroyed me
Acting like you're five years old
I think it's time you leave me alone
[Post-Coro]
Sticks and stones won't break my bones
Your words will destroy me
Sticks and stones won't break my bones
Your words will destroy me
[Coro]
Sticks and stones won't break my bones
The words you spoke destroyed me
Acting like you're five years old
I think it's time you leave me alone
