You take the weight of the world
Like an empty bag that's hanging from your shoulder
Empty streets, crowded trains

Made a thousand friends who'll never know your name
Sticks and stones may break your bones but

You still don't have to change
You still don't have to change
I'll never walk away
You still don't have to, still don't have to change

A stranger's bed is home tonight
You slip away at dawn to chase another flight

No private jets while chasing stars
All these question marks but you know who you are

Sticks and stones may break your bones but

You still don't have to change
You still don't have to change
I'll never walk away
You still don't have to, still don't have to change

You still don't have to change
You still don't have to change
I'll never run away
You still don't have to, still don't have to change
