- WHEN SHE WAS A LITTLE GIRL
HER FATHER TOLD HER IN FALSE TRUTH
THAT STICKS AND STONE WILL BREAK YOUR BONES
BUT WORDS WILL NEVER HURT YOU
SO SHE IGNORED THE KIDS
WHO CALLED HER THE TEACHER’S PET
AS LONG AS THEY DIDN’T TOUCH HER
SHE DIDN’T CARE ABOUT THE REST
WHEN SHE BEGAN JUNIOR HIGH
SHE’D TRY NOT TO HEAR
WHEN THEY BEGAN TO CALL HER FAT
SHE’D JUST HIDE THE SECRET TEARS
BY HIGH SCHOOL, SHE’D CHANGED
SHE WAS NOW THE SCHOOL W****
PEOPLE MADE UP DUMB RUMORS
OF WHAT SHE DID BEHIND CLOSED DOORS
SHE TOLD HERSELF IT DIDN’T MATTER
THAT SHE DIDN’T CARE WHAT THEY SAID
UNTIL SHE WOKE UP ONE MORNING
TO REALIZE HER SELF WORTH WAS DEAD.
PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS DOUBT
THE POWER BEHIND WORDS
THEY CAN SAVE A PERSON’S LIFE
OR LEAVE SOMEONE DESPERATE AND HURT
SO TRY TO KEEP IN MIND
THE ACTUAL TRUTH
THAT STICKS AND STONES WILL BREAK YOUR BONES
AND WORDS CAN DESTROY YOU.
