Hurt Me
Sticks and stones never broke my bones
But the words did hurt me, the words do hurt me
All my life I felt alone
Cuz no one told me, the world's unholy
Your tongue was like a knife's serrated edge
Each word a rusted, jagged point meant to cut me rough
Beyond stitches' remedy
And then I let my own reign free
Adding insult to injury
Sticks and stones never broke my bones
But the words did hurt me, the words do hurt me
All my life I felt alone
Cuz no one told me, the world's unholy
