Sticks and Stones

Sitting in my room feeling sorry
for myself.
I can't feel words
for what else.
I wonder what I could say
to stop the voices
taunting, laughing.
The way they're acting,
I wish they'd just disappear.
The joke is always on me.
It's always on me.

Why don't they understand
that we are all the same?
And we all feel lost at times.
Why don't they understand
that someone elses pain
is not for gain.

Sticks and stones won't break my soul.
Get outta my way, I'm invincible!
Hold them down
'cause the one they hurt's not around.
Not around.
It's not your place,
honestly.

In the end you'll be the victim.
You're the one who has to live with yourself.
And when you're reaching for help,
there'll be no one, there's no one.

Why don't you understand
that we are all the same?
And we all feel lost at times.
Why don't you understand
that someone else's pain
is not for gain.

Sticks and stones won't break my soul.
Get outta my way, I'm invincible!
Hold them down
'cause the one they hurt's not around.
Not around.
It's not your place,
honestly.

I won't live in chains.
I've got something to give.
I won't play this game,
yeah, I'd rather live.
You know, I've come to far
to be like you are.

Why don't you understand?
That we are all the same.

Sticks and stones won't break my soul.
Get outta my way, I'm invincible!
Throw them down!

La, la, la, la, la,
la, la, la, la, la,
la, la, la, la, la,
la, la, la!

Throw them down
'cause the one you hurt's not around,
not around, not around anymore.

It's not your place,
honestly.
