[Verse 1] They said your name too sharp Like stones in a schoolyard game You felt it hit your chest And you wore that quiet shame But look at me right here That hurt is not your home Their words are paper cuts They fade when you move on [Pre-Chorus] Hold your chin up high Don’t give them your tears You are bigger than The noise in your ears [Chorus] Words can’t break me Words can’t break me I stand up tall And I keep on breathing Words can’t break me Words can’t break me You throw your shade I keep my ceiling (keep my ceiling) (keep my ceiling) [Verse 2] If they laugh in the hall Let them choke on empty sound You got dreams in your hands And they can’t drag them down Find your people, stay close The real ones know your worth A kind heart in a storm Can be the strongest thing on earth [Pre-Chorus] Hold your chin up high Don’t give them your tears You are bigger than The noise in your ears [Chorus] Words can’t break me Words can’t break me I stand up tall And I keep on breathing Words can’t break me Words can’t break me You throw your shade I keep my ceiling (keep my ceiling) (keep my ceiling) [Bridge] Breathe in Let it pass Their bad talk Never lasts You are gold Under dust You are brave You are enough [Final Chorus] Words can’t break me Words can’t break me I stand up tall And I keep on breathing Words can’t break me Words can’t break me You throw your shade I keep my ceiling Words can’t break me Words can’t break me I know my name And I keep on healing
