Words

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

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

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 hidden in my truth

Sometimes I ain't bulletproof

Sticks and stones will never break my bones

But words still hurt me

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

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

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 hidden in my truth

Sometimes I ain't bulletproof oh

Sticks and stones will never break my bones

But words still hurt me

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

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 hidden in my truth

Sometimes I ain't bulletproof

Oh sticks and stones will never break my bones

But words still hurt me

Words still hurt me
