The Sound Of Your Goodbye Lyrics

The Sound Of Your Goodbye lyrics

(Aaron Tippin/Michael P. Heeney)
Girl, I`ve got scars and I`ve seen stars 
From men nearly twice my size 
Yeah, life`s sticks and stones have broke a few bones 
But I`ve always survived 
So when I take a look at all I`ve took 
It don`t seem right to me 
How a little bitty woman with just a few words 
Come bring me to my knees 
Sticks and stones wouldn`t hurt a bit 
Compared to the cold, cruel words that just leave your lips 
I`d rather you pick up a rock, a stick full of thorns 
Rear back and let `em fly 
`Cause those sticks wouldn`t cut, stones hurt as much 
As the sound of your goodbye 
Yeah, I know I`m the reason you`re leavin` 
I`m to blame sure enough 
It`s like you say there ain`t a woman made 
That can live without true love 
So if it`s too late to set things straight 
And there`s no forgivin` me 
Then don`t say nothin,` just pick you up somethin` 
That`ll end this misery. 
Sticks and stones wouldn`t hurt a bit 
Compared to the cold, cruel words that just leave your lips 
I`d rather you pick up a rock, a stick full of thorns 
Rear back and let `em fly 
`Cause those sticks wouldn`t cut, stones hurt as much 
As the sound of your goodbye
