Sitting in my room feelin' sorry
For myself - I can't feel worse
Well 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 else's pain
Is not for gain

Sticks and stones won't break my soul
Get out of the way, I'm invincible
Throw them down
'Cause the one you 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 reachin' for help
They'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 out of the way, I'm invincible
Throw them down
'Cuz the one you hurt's not around (not around)
Not around (not around)
It's not your place - honestly

I won't live in chains
I've got somethin' to give
I won't play these games
Yeah, I'd rather live
You know I've come too 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 out of the 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
'Cuz the one you hurt's not around (not around)
Not around (not around)
Not around anymore
It's not your place - honestly
