I liked you
You showed me
These calls must continue
Time is collapsing in my head
I built all the walls you can't come in
You were the one that called me last
I highly doubt this thing will last
Chorus:
Sticks and stones, they hurt
When you shoot them through the phone
And you dragged my name through dirt
And it hurts to be left here all alone
Elegant thoughts I will not share
My symphonic silence
I hope you can bare it baby
I liked you
You showed me
Exactly who I don't wanna be
Chorus
I'll always look for you
I'll always look for you
No stone was left unturned
You were the one that called me last
I highly doubt this thing will last
Cause you were the one that messed up
Chorus
Sticks and stones get shot through the telephone
With instant results, we're both left alone I'm just and ageing drummer boy
And in the wars I used to play
And I've called the tune
To many a torture session
Now they say I am a war criminal
And I'm fading away
Father please her my confession
I have legalised robbery
Called it a belief
I have run with the money
And hid like a theif
I have re-written history
With my armies and my crooks
Invented memories
I did burn all the books
And I can still hear his laughter
And I can still hear his song
The man's too big
The man's too strong
Well I have tried to be meek
And I have tried to be mild
But I spat like a woman
And sulked like a child
I have lived behind walls
That have made me alone
Striven for peace
Which I have never known
And I can still hear his laughter
And I can still hear his song
The man's too big
The man's too strong
Well the sun rose on the courtyard
And they all did hear him say
'You always were a Judas
But I got you anyway
You may have got your silver
But I swear upon my life
Your sister gave me diamonds
And I gave them to your wife'
Oh father please help me
For I have done wrong
The man's too big
The man's too strong
