The funny thing about hurt people
Is they tend to hurt people
I'm alright
Your voice was like a knife
It used to make me cry
You tried to cut my pride
Not this time
So go ahead and say the things you gotta say
You know you're only throwing empty words my way
'Cause you won't break me, you won't break me
You can't take me down, no
The funny thing about listening is
I don't have to hear you
The only approval that I need is mine
Your voice was like a knife
It used to make me cry
You tried to cut my pride
(Gm)
So go ahead (go ahead) and say the things you gotta say
You know you're only throwing empty words my way (my way)
'Cause you won't break me (won't break me)
You won't break me (can't break me)
You can't take me down, no
So go ahead and say the things you gotta say (I wanna say it)
It's only empty words a million miles away
'Cause you won't break me (won't break me)
You won't break me (oh, you can't take me)
You can't take me down, no
The hardest part of this
Cannot be heard or seen
This journey starts when I begin loving me
So go ahead and say the things you gotta say
You know you're only throwing empty words my way
'Cause you won't break me (you're never gonna break me)
You won't break me (you're never gonna take me)
You can't take me down, no
So go ahead (say it) and say the things you gotta say (you gotta say it)
It's only empty words a million miles away (a million miles away)
'Cause you won't break me (won't break me)
You won't break me (never break me, oh, never, never)
You can't take me down, no
Ah-ah yeah yeah,(yeah)
Ah-ah yeah yeah,(Oooh)
Ah-ah yeah yeah yeah (yeah yeah)
So go ahead and say the things you gotta say
You know you're only throwing empty words my way
