When we're walkin down a boulevard
Could you at least pretend that I am alive?
Don't you know I'm skin and bones?
Could you at least instill the thought that I have a heart?
When you see me, I'll wave hello again
And we'll make contact and talk all night long
When you see that I was so alone
I hope we can be as good of friends again
Oh we've been silent for far too long
Well these sticks and stones, they break my bones
The words, they cut so deep, and I'm barely alive
Don't you feel the words, in the back of your throat burn deep within?
You couldn't say "I'm sorry"
But they say time heals all wounds
