Toughen Up

You shout it loud,
but I can't hear a word you say
I'm talking loud,
not saying much.
I'm criticized,
but all your bullets ricochet
you shoot me down,
but I get up.

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
fire away, fire away
ricochet, you take your aim
fire away, fire away
you shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
you shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium

Cut me down,
but it's you who'll have further to fall
Ghost town and
haunted love
Raise your voice,
sticks and stones may break my bones
I'm talking loud,
not saying much.

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
fire away, fire away
ricochet, you take your aim
fire away, fire away
you shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
you shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
Stone hard, machine gun
Fired at the ones who run
Stone hard, as bulletproof glass
 
you shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
you shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium

Law studies, jealous girls and opportunistic boys. I've faced them all. In my last prom a few weeks ago, I saw the harsh truth - I'm not taking many friends from my Law studies, and neither from International Reltions. I've met really good people, don't get me wrong, and studied with the best teachers. But it's a competitive profession, maybe even more than acting or music. And I've gotta toughen up. Luckily I have my friends and family, like my lovely sister, who accompanied me to the ball, to lean on.
