Words Like Knives

[Verse] She walks into the room, with a smile so bright But the whispers and glares, slice through the night They call her the "Pick-Me Girl," like it's some kind of game But they don't know her story, they don't know her name [Pre-Chorus] They continue to tear her down Destroy her crown [Chorus] Words like knives, cutting deep into her soul Judgmental eyes, taking their toll She's just trying to be herself, why can't they see? The "Pick-Me Girl" they label her, isn't who she longs to be [Verse] She's bullied and belittled, for things she can't change But she wears her heart on her sleeve, unafraid to brave The storm of hatred, the storm of lies She's stronger than they know, she'll rise [Pre-Chorus] They continue to tear her down Destroy her crown [Chorus] Words like knives, cutting deep into her soul Judgmental eyes, taking their toll She's just trying to be herself, why can't they see? The "Pick-Me Girl" they label her, isn't who she longs to be [Bridge] She's more than a label, more than a name She's a warrior, fighting against the pain She won't be silenced, she won't back down She'll rise above the hate, and wear her crown [High Note] No-oh-oh-oh-oh [Chorus] Words like knives, cutting deep into her soul (Her soul) Judgmental eyes, taking their toll (Oh-oh No-oh) She's just trying to be herself, why can't they see? The "Pick-Me Girl" they label her, isn't who she longs to be [Outro] So next time you see her, don't be so quick to judge The "Pick-Me Girl" deserves more than a grudge She's a diamond in the rough, a light in the dark Let her shine, let her spark.
