Being torn down
Ripped apart
Like a piece of paper
Blowing in the wind
Seeing your confidence being tossed away
Constantly being put down, shamed and causing blame
Who do you think you are, causing so much pain, what do you have to gain?
It only makes you look weak, picking on me
Maybe it’s you that you should speak too and take the shame
Look back at yourself and see what went wrong
I did nothing, I am just me, but here I am singing this song
A sad song, not just for me, but thousands of people who get put down, just like me

Just like me
I get bullied and ripped apart
Just because I’m different
This is me from the start
I am who I am
Isn’t that enough
I guess I’m just worthless
Yet I am tough

People like you should get love from the start
Then maybe we wouldn’t feel like world’s apart
If it was up to me, I would stick up for myself
But here I sit in a puddle of my own self pity
Wondering why you pick me, telling everyone that I’m not pretty
So what if I’m not, so what if I’m fat, so what if you don’t like that
I done with it all
I’m not gunna lie
Sometimes I just wanna die

Just like me
I get bullied and ripped apart
Just because I’m different
This is me from the start
I am who I am
Isn’t that enough
I guess I’m just worthless
Yet I am tough

This is where I change
Stand up for myself
Stop feeling deranged
Grab hands with those around
Like a childhood game
Let our confidence be found
Let us stand up to the bullies
Let our voices be heard
Once and for all
This is just absurd

Just like me
I get bullied and ripped apart
Just because I’m different
This is me from the start
I am who I am
Isn’t that enough
I guess I’m just worthless
Yet I am tough

Yet I am tough

Yet I am tough

Yet I am tough

Yet I am.......
