The rocks hit me hard
blinding me with pain
I had let down my guard
the rocks pelted me like rain
                              and I let the tears drop

You had thrown sticks and stones
and I just couldn't dodge them
doing worse than breaking my bones
but your chance at noticing was slim
                                                     and I had let the tears drop

I had tried so hard to ignore
your harsh words echoing in my head
I held my heart together as it tore
next thing I knew, I was seeing red
                                                    and I let the tears drop

Then I felt the strength I yearned
I finally stood up to you
I used the strength I had earned
and threw the rocks back at you
                                                    and I wiped away the tears
