Shooting me with words But I won't let them bruise Even though it hurts I won't show it to you 'Cause it will ricochet I won't let it by I will look at you and tell you that I'm alright Like a ricochet It will come back to you Let me tell you Now because my eyes are open Your words will keep bouncing away And even if you're trying to hurt me My skin's getting thicker each day I don't know how you fall asleep at night Knowing that you're words are hurtful It's just not right Now because my eyes are open Your words will keep bouncing away Like a ricochet Like a ricochet Like a ricochet Like a ricochet I used to let it in All the things that you said You tried to turn me into somebody else But it will ricochet I won't let it by I will look at you and tell you that I'm alright Like ricochet It will come back to you Let me tell you Now because my eyes are open Your words will keep bouncing away And even if you're trying to hurt me My skin's getting thicker each day I don't know how you fall asleep at night Knowing that you're words are hurtful It's just not right Now because my eyes are open Your words will keep bouncing away Like a ricochet Like a ricochet Like a ricochet Like a ricochet Ooh, ooh, ooh...
