Beat The Bullies Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was always a bright kid
So much soul, I think I made the other kids a little bit frightened, oh
The way I talk too fast when I'm nervous
They talked behind my back but I heard it
And it's hurting, yeah, it hurt me so
Why don't they see my bruises?
'Cause I wear them all on my heart
But when I put scars on my surface
I found there's no love in self-harm

[Chorus]
And you can't hurt me now, 'cause I lose my pain in the melody
I don't hurt me now, 'cause I know that love is the remedy
You can't hurt us now, 'cause all I need is my family
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, we can beat the bullies

[Verse 2]
Nobody's messing with Chloe, Jess, mamma Louise
I know that we can do it, we can beat the bullies
And we believe it fully
We're sick of being sufferers, look at us now
Talking above from the clouds, nobody's stopping us now
Nobody's knocking me down
You'd be a fool to count a fight around
Everyone stand up and shout
[Chorus]
You can't hurt me now, 'cause I lose my pain in the melody
You can't hurt me now, 'cause I know that love is the remedy
They can't hurt us now, because all I need is my family
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, we can beat the bullies
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, we can beat...

[Bridge]
All of this love, and all of this pain
I can't take it away, I can't change the world

[Chorus]
You can't hurt me now, because I lose my pain in the melody
You can't hurt me now, 'cause I know that love is the remedy
They can't hurt us now, because all I need is my family
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, we can beat the bullies
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, we can beat, yeah
We can beat the bullies
