I’ve been awake for a while now It’s way too late to be thinking ‘bout All the careless things I’ve done wrong They see mistakes I’ve been making now But I’ve been trying to lay ‘em down Haven’t been myself for so long Prechorus It’s been a while since I came to you I hope you love me no matter what I do I need somebody, a God to hold on to Through all the highs and lows Chorus They’ve been throwing sticks and stones, oh I’ve been feeling so alone, oh I need your help to take control of The way I live, like the way you did Yeah, I know that you can give me hope, and You love me even when I'm broken You say you’ll never let me go, and You light my road And you heal my soul When they’re throwing their sticks and stones Got broken bones, and I'm feeling bruised Somehow I know you can get me through You’re the only cure for my pain And when I'm left all on my own I know that you’re never gonna go And you’re gonna make it okay It’s been a while since I came to you I hope you love me no matter what I do I need somebody, a God to hold on to Through all the highs and lows They’ve been throwing sticks and stones, oh I’ve been feeling so alone, oh I need your help to take control of The way I live, like the way you did Yeah, I know that you can give me hope, and You love me even when I'm broken You say you’ll never let me go, and You light my road And you heal my soul When they’re throwing their sticks and stones You’re the only one that knows me You can see the whole thing And I know that you love me, too So I'm getting on my knees to make it right with you You’re the only one that knows me You can see the whole thing And I know that you love me, too I need you They’ve been throwing sticks and stones, oh I’ve been feeling so alone, oh I need your help to take control of The way I live, like the way you did Yeah, I know that you can give me hope, and You love me even when I'm broken You say you’ll never let me go, and You light my road And you heal my soul When they’re throwing their sticks and stones Woh Woh Wooh Throwing their sticks and stones
