Sticks and stones may break my bones
But the words will always hurt me
Get them thrown at me every day
If only I can break free
They say you have to know yourself
Otherwise you don't survive in this world
Of sticks and stones

Alone on my own so long
Thinking about what's all gone wrong
I've put up with it for too much time
I can get disruption wherever I go
Love has turned to hatred
Friends turn to foes

I don't want to be me anymore
That girl has broken me in two
And left me raw
I can't face another day
I'm scared

Alone in my dreams too long
I wanna be the girl who's confident and strong
I want to feel alive
People say you have to know yourself
Otherwise you don't survive in this world
Of sticks and stones

I don't want to be me anymore
That girl has broken me in two
And left me raw
I can't face another day
I'm scared
I'm scared

So much more being told to be yourself
So much more trying to laugh and joke with yourself
I don't want to be me anymore
That girl has broken me in two
And left me raw
I can't face another day
I'm scared
I don't want to be me anymore

That girl has broken me in two
And left me raw
I can't face another day
I'm scared
I'm scared
I'm scared
I'm scared
I'm scared

Sticks and stones may break my bones
But the words will always hurt me
Get them thrown at me every day
But one day I will break free
One day I will know myself
So I can survive in this world
Of sticks and stones
