Days like this I want to drive away
You chewed me up and spit me out
Like I was poison in your mouth
But that was then and this is now
Now look at me! is the part of me
that you're never gonna ever
that you're never gonna ever
Throw your sticks and your stones,
throw your bombs and your blows
But you're not gonna break my soul
Oh, this is the part of me
that you're never gonna ever
Find out who is really there for me
Was always tearing at the seams
I fell deep, you let me drown
But that was then and this is now
Throw your sticks and your stones
Throw your bombs and your blows
That you're not gonna break my soul
That you're never gonna ever
Now look at me, I'm sparkling
A firework, a dancing flame
You will never put me out again
So you can keep the diamond ring,
it don't mean nothing anyway
In fact you can keep everything,
yeah, yeah, except for me
that you're never gonna ever
Throw your sticks and your stones,
throw your bombs and your blows
But you're not gonna break my soul
No, this is the part of me
Throw your sticks and your stones
Throw your bombs and your clothes
But you're not gonna break my soul
