You see a girl in the hallway
And then you whisper to your friend, "Who is she anyway?"
You've forgotten what she looks like in like a day
But your words don't hurt me, I will be okay
'Cause you don't hurt me
I won't mold to
Your silly words
I won't live inside your world
'Cause your punches and your names
All your jokes and stupid games
They don't work
No, they don't hurt
Watch them just go right through me
Because they mean nothing to me
I'm not clay
You see that girl in the hallway
Smile on her face as she walks away
Trying to tear her down was your first mistake
'Cause little did you know, she wasn't built to break
'Cause you don't hurt me
I won't mold to
Your silly words
I won't live inside your world
'Cause your punches and your names
All your jokes and stupid games
They don't work
No, they don't hurt
Watch them just go right through me
Because they mean nothing to me
Try to change my shape
But baby, I'm not clay
Sorry, not today
'Cause baby, I'm not
Try to change my shape
But baby, I'm not clay
Sorry, not today
'Cause baby, I'm not clay
Your silly words
I won't live inside your world
'Cause your punches and your names
All your jokes and stupid games
They don't work
No, they don't hurt
Watch them just go right through me
Because they mean nothing to me
I'm not clay
