My Songs

Avoiding Sticks and Stones

Verse 1

I have to let your memory go,

I have to move on,

It's not good to dwell on what you did wrong,

I've forgotten about you,

I hope you don't think about me,

You've scarred my heart, I've hidden the key

Chorus

It's been years since the damage was done,

And still all I want to do it run,

Run from the past,

Run from the future,

That old girl,

I'm not her,

I don't hide away in other people's shadows anymore,

I hide in my own,

Being the unknown,

Avoiding the sticks and stones

Verse 2

 Your cold look still etched in my mind,

I push you out of it every time,

The words you said,

Makes me see red,

To think of your face,

Makes my heart race,

Fear overcomes me,

I can't help but get angry,

Chorus

It's been years since the damage was done,

And still all I want to do it run,

Run from the past,

Run from the future,

That old girl,

I'm not her,

I don't hide away in other people's shadows anymore,

I hide in my own,

Being the unknown,

Avoiding the sticks and stones

Bridge

 I see you around,

I just keep looking down,

Not wanting to think,

We share the same town,

One of these days,

Our eyes will meet,

See into your soul,

The devil will keep,

Chorus

It's been years since the damage was done,

And still all I want to do it run,

Run from the past,

Run from the future,

That old girl,

I'm not her,

I don't hide away in other people's shadows anymore,

I hide in my own,

Being the unknown,

Avoiding the sticks and stones
