Sticks & Stones

I see the look in your eyes
Can never be perfect
Even if I tried
I'd still let you down
The lies in your smile
Scared to be different
I've gotta get out
And that's why I say

Gotta do this on my own
I've gotta do this on my own
You're never gonna break my bones
With sticks and stones
I need to do this on my own

You know you're not always right
But you brought me up to think so
And I paid the price
Years without a voice
I don't want to fight
But you dance around the problems
And yeah I've gotten wise
That's why I say

I gotta do this on my own
I gotta do this on my own
You're never gonna break my bones
With sticks and stones
I need to do this on my own

Your sticks and stones
May break my bones
But your words will never hurt me
But your words will never hurt me
Oh your words will never hurt me
Oh your words will never hurt me
