I've used things to hide it
Yeah, this pain I have inside
And although I find it
You will never see me cry
Shed a tear, I wouldn't
For you, I couldn't
On the outside, I am tall
But on the inside, I am small
Sticks and stones, your bow and arrow
Pierce my heart, but I'm ready to say
Goodbye to the rain
It's time for a change
Things can't stay the same
You shoot me down, shoot me down,
Shoot me down, yeah
Can't put me down, put me down,
Put me down, yeah
Do you even know
This pain I have inside?
And although I seem fine
We both know that it's a lie
Sticks and stones, your bow and arrow
Pierce my heart, but I'm ready to say
Goodbye to the rain
It's time for a change
Things can't stay the same
You shoot me down, shoot me down,
Shoot me down, yeah
Can't put me down, put me down,
Put me down, yeah
Am I the only one,
the only one who's hurting?
Am I the only one,
who's carrying this burden?
Am I the only one?
Goodbye to the rain
It's time for a change
Things can't stay the same
Can't put me down, put me down,
Put me down, yeah
Goodbye to the rain,
Goodbye to the pain,
Things can't stay the same,
You shoot me down, shoot me down,
Shoot me down, yeah
Can't put me down, put me down,
Put me down, yeah
