Words

[Verse 1]

I’m not skinny enough

I’m not pretty enough

Feels like the world’s on my back

They don’t like the songs that I sing

And the man who gave me my ring

May even hate that I’m Black

[Pre-Chorus]

It’s so much pressure feeling like I gotta smile and let it go

To keep it all to myself and never let it show

[Chorus]

Yeah, I am strong but I still cry

There’s still darkness in my light

There’s some days I just can’t do it

Oh, what can I say? I’m only human

And there’s still lies in, in my truth

Sometimes I ain’t bulletproof

Sticks and stones will never break my bones

But words still hurt me

[Verse 2]

Somеtimes they lift you up

Just to pull you back down

And they fill you with doubt

Thеy can tear you apart

Fix up your broken heart

Pick you up off the ground

[Pre-Chorus]

It’s so much pressure feeling like I gotta smile and let it go

To keep it all to myself and never let it show

[Chorus]

Yeah, I am strong but I still cry

There’s still darkness in my light

There’s some days I just can’t do it

Oh, what can I say? I’m only human

And there’s still lies in, in my truth

Sometimes I ain’t bulletproof

Sticks and stones will never break my bones

But words still hurt me

[Bridge]

If we could love a little more

Hate a little less, love a little more

If we could love a little more, hate a little less

If we could love a little more, love a little more, yeah

[Chorus]

Yeah, I am strong but I still cry

There’s still darkness in my light

There’s some days I just can’t do it

Oh, what can I say? I’m only human

And there’s still lies in, in my truth

Sometimes I ain’t bulletproof

Sticks and stones will never break my bones

But words still hurt me

Words still hurt me
