Bones Lyrics

Bones (bones) (bones)
Bones (bones) (bones)
Bones (bones) (bones)
Bones (bones) (bones)

They talked about you
Like you were a piece of cake
One that tasted
Just like a sugar snowflake
(They would beg for their lives)

Still all their parts would break (would break)
See my own reflection
On your tongue
From this kiss there is nowhere to run
To run to run to run

Chorus
Bones
The boys are probably
Way to tough to get hurt
Bones
Now we all cry
Like little girls

So now I guess
It's my turn to get butterflies
When you smile
But unlike them I will realize
(It's better when you're at the graveyard)
With mirrors in the skies
You were gonna hurt me
So bad tonight
From this kiss there is nowhere to hide
To hide to hide to hide

Chorus
(Little girls)
Bones (bones)
Under your bed
Under your bed
Then the boys get rest
You were gonna hurt me
You were gonna hurt me so bad

Bones (bones)
The boys are probably
Way too tough to get hurt
Bones (bones)
The boys are probably
Way too tough to get hurt
Tough to hurt
Bones (bones)
Now we all cry like little girls
Like little girls

Bones (bones) (bones)
Bones (bones) (bones)
Bones
Bones (bones)

They talked about you 
Like you were a piece of cake
One that tasted 
Just like a sugar snowflake 
(They would beg for their lives)

Still all their parts would break (would break)
See my own reflection
On your tongue
From this kiss there is nowhere to run
To run to run to run

Chorus
Bones

Way to tough to get hurt

With mirrors in the skies
You were gonna hurt me 
So bad tonight
From this kiss there is nowhere to hide
To hide to hide to hide

You were gonna hurt me so bad

The boys are probably 
Way too tough to get hurt
Tough to hurt

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

IT seems to me that the song is talking about a girl who had been with so many guys, whom she had hurt, this time the guy knows about her and what she does (turn the boys into her bones, (Bones being old dead affairs) he thinks he can take her kiss, her seduction and he does, he gets with her and doesn't fall into the trap of getting hurt, but then afterwards he longs for the kiss and this girl, but knows she is impossible and to him he is just "bones"

'Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words will never hurt me'

Maybe?
