The funny thing about hurt people
Is they tend to hurt people
The funny thing about lies is
They're only lies
The funny thing about hearts is
They tend to break easy
The funny thing about healing is
I'm alright
Your voice is 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 got to 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 and the
Funny thing about talking is your words are tired
Now I've come to realise that
Life can be cruel but
The only approval that I need is mine
Your voice is 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 got to 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
So go ahead and say the things you got to 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 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 got to 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
So go ahead and say the things you got to 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
So go ahead and say the things you got to say
You know you're only throwing empty words my way
