Set me on fire. Call me a liar. Say mean things. Tear down my wings. Be an arrogant prat. You're worse than a rat. Say I'm dumb. Beat me till I'm numb. You can't hurt me. I'm happy as a bee.
Throw me in the fire, I'll burn with pure desire.
Take their insults within your stride. Face them proudly don't run and hide. Know in your heart that you are true. And nothing they can say will ever hurt you.
You said I led by example. When I smiled you wanted a sample. Simple to take what isn't yours. Take my happiness and pick at my flaws. See I'm still smiling and leading the way.
Drop me like an atom bomb, Hurl me like a stone, Crush me like I'm underfoot, Hang me: I'm a phone. Slap me like I'm day dreaming, Hit me if you dare, Avoid me like I'm truly toxic, Ignore me.
You can tear me down, You can up and make me cry, You can tease and taunt me, You can make me want to die, You can spread your rumours, You can torture me to hell, You can trip my efforts up, You can...
I'm bulletproof, I'm hard to hurt, I'm thick skinned, And I'm tough. Takes more than words, Takes more than taunts, To hurt me when it's rough.
