I know you are feeling all alone
That's just how it gets when things are wrong
I just want to tell you, you are strong
Sticks may break and stones may ache but
Baby girl, I know the life that you are going through
Struggling and fighting, but the war isn't the one where you are winning
Now you're crying on the floor
Heart broken
Job taken
Tell you what is more
Mommy's gone and dads withdrawn the hurt is kinda sore
The only person left with you is walking out the door
Damn
It's hurting even more
Yesterday, you fell out with your friend since you were four
You found out she was cheating with your man, not anymore
It's hurting to the bone because she told you just before
That you would be the best of friends until you're 94
And after that she took the very man that you adore
Into a place where he couldn't be your man anymore
You're not one to get angry
And work I know it can be
The greatest test, so when the rest of the workers got you pissed
You flipped now his face has got a scar from your fist
Damn
I know you are feeling all alone
That's just how it gets when things are wrong
I just want to tell you, you are strong
Sticks may break and stones may ache but
You've lost the nine to five
And when the people ask you if there's any drive
You say you don't know
And it's funny 'cause you lost a lot of money
And you lost your only hunny
And although it's really sunny
You are dark inside
And the people at your work, they saw the darker side
And the guy that you attacked is at his lawyer's side
He's pressing all these charges
Said assault and gross demeanor
You tryna tell them you didn't really mean it
And though you really mean it
They only see a sinner
They only see a victim
They only see a bitter
Looking little vixen
He's givin' you the finger
You have to show up at the court of law
I know you are feeling all alone
That's just how it gets when things are wrong
I just want to tell you, you are strong
Sticks may break and stones may ache but
You're looking in the mirror
The day has come you see the tears are rolling down your figure
You're meeting with the judge today, the one that will deliver
The verdict on this case, so you've been chucking back the liquor
See no ones on your side
Your friends they say they tried
They couldn't find a ride
And some say that they're tired
So when you get inside
You're sitting all alone
And on the other side it's like he's on a throne
With all his lawyers saying that you're crazy like you're prone
To doing all the things that they really couldn't condone
And now the time has flown
You're crying cos it's wrong, you know you don't belong
You're trying to be strong
And then you say a prayer like you should've all along
Just like it's up to you, I don't know what to do
I don't believe in you
The second that you're through
A little voice it says, "I got you, boo"
I know you are feeling all alone
That's just how it gets when things are wrong
I just want to tell you, you are strong
Sticks may break and stones may ache but
You wipe the tears and step up to the pew
Everybody staring, see they've fixed their eyes on you
And yes, you feel the glaring, but you stared to review
You talk about the boyfriend and the girl you thought you knew
And how you both were planning on a wedding when you grew
And everything was tumbling so really when you threw
The punches you weren't thinking
And yeah the feelings sinking
There's not one person in the court without a teary eye
And everything was dropped the second that the other guy
Was listening intently, see he just began to cry
He told you later that's the same thing that happened to I
So really you're the strongest in my eye
I know you are feeling all alone
That's just how it gets when things are wrong
I just want to tell you, you are strong
Sticks may break and stones may ache
Sticks may break and stones may ache
Sticks may break and stones may ache
