Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pack my bags and watch your shadow fade
You chewed me up and spit me out
Like I was poison in your mouth
You took my light, you drained me down
But that was then and this is now, now look at me
This is the part of me
This is the part of me
That you’re never gonna ever take away from me, no!
Throw your sticks and your stones, throw your bombs and your blows
But you’re not gonna break my soul
This is the part of me
That you’re never gonna ever take away from me, no!
I just wanna throw my phone away
Find out who is really there for me
You ripped me off your love was cheap
Was always tearing at the seams
I fell deep, you let me down
But that was then and this is now, now look at me
This is the part of me
That you’re never gonna ever take away from me, no!
This is the part of me
That you’re never gonna ever take away from me, no!
Throw your sticks and your stones, throw your bombs and your blows
But you’re not gonna break my soul
This is the part of me
That you’re never gonna ever take away from me, no!
Now look at me I’m sparkling
A firework, a dancing flame
You won't ever put me out again I’m glowin’ oh whoa
So you can keep the diamond ring
It don't mean nothing anyway
In fact you can keep everything yeah, yeah except for me
This is the part of me
That you’re never gonna ever take away from me, no!
This is the part of me
That you’re never gonna ever take away from me, no!
Throw your sticks and your stones, throw your bombs and your blows
But you’re not gonna break my soul
This is the part of me
That you’re never gonna ever take away from me, no
This is the part of me, no
Away from me no
This is the part of me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, no
Throw your sticks and your stones, throw your bombs and your blows
But you’re not gonna break my soul
This is the part of me,
That you’re never gonna ever take away from me, no

Line by Line Meaning
Days like this I want to drive away
There are days when I want to leave everything behind and start afresh
Pack my bags and watch your shadow fade
I want to leave you and forget all the hurt and pain you caused me
You chewed me up and spit me out
You used me and then discarded me like I was nothing
Like I was poison in your mouth
You treated me like I was toxic and brought only negativity to your life
You took my light, you drained me down
You drained me of all my energy and optimism
But that was then and this is now, now look at me
I have moved on from your toxicity and now I am doing much better
This is the part of me
That you’re never gonna ever take away from me, no!
You may have taken everything away from me, but you will never be able to take away the strength and resilience that I have gained from the experience
Throw your sticks and your stones, throw your bombs and your blows
But you’re not gonna break my soul
You can say and do whatever you want to hurt me, but you will never be able to break my spirit
I just wanna throw my phone away
Find out who is really there for me
I want to disconnect from the false relationships I have and find out who truly cares for me
You ripped me off your love was cheap
Was always tearing at the seams
Your love was shallow and always on the verge of falling apart
I fell deep, you let me down
But that was then and this is now, now look at me
I fell hard for you and you disappointed me, but I have moved on and am stronger because of it
Now look at me I’m sparkling
A firework, a dancing flame
You won't ever put me out again I’m glowin’ oh whoa
Now that I have broken free from you, I am shining and thriving, and you can never bring me down again
So you can keep the diamond ring
It don't mean nothing anyway
In fact you can keep everything yeah, yeah except for me
You can keep all the material possessions you gave me, because they never meant anything to me anyway. The only thing I value is myself
This is the part of me
This is the part of me that is strong and untouchable
