Broken sticks and broken stones   Will turn to dust just like our bones   It's words that hurt the most now isn't it   Are you sad inside, are you home alone   If I could just pick up the phone   Maybe you could see a better day   And you won't waste away   under my watchful eye   Because I'm your hero and you're my weakness      Who's gonna break my fall   When the spinning starts   The colors bleed together and fade   Was it ever there at all   Or have I lost my way   The path of least resistance   Is catching up with me again today      I'm broken down, not good enough   The broken promises add up   To twice their weight in tears which I have caused      I'm afraid to sink, I'm afraid to swim   I'm sad to say I miss my friends   I know that I'm supposed to step away   But they need me to stay and keep a watchful eye   On all my heroes and all their demons      But who's gonna break my fall   When the spinning starts   The colors bleed together and fade   Was it ever there at all   Or have I lost my way   The path of least resistance   Is catching up with me again   Not today   Not today      Was it ever there at all   And have I lost my way   The path of least resistance   Is catching up with me again today      Broken sticks and broken stones   Will turn to dust just like our bones again today   I'm broken down   Not good enough   The broken promises add up again today      Was it ever there at all   And have I lost my way   The path of least resistance   Is catching up with me again today   Again today
