Days like this I want to drive away
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
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!
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
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
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!
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

If a man doesn't stand for something, he'll fall for anything. The cost of standing by your beliefs can be a high one, but the cost of abandoning them is even higher. This is the part of me, you'll never take away from me. It doesn't have to be military propaganda to push a war effort, it can be a mantra for safeguarding your faith.
Edmond: Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes. You must look into that storm and shout as you did in Rome. Do your worst, for I will do mine! Then the fates will know you as we know you Count of Monte Cristo
That's all I got. Good song, not amazing but I'd like to see her do more of these kind of slightly deeper (relatively) songs. She rocks regardless.
"You took my life
You drained me down
But that was then
And this is now"
"Throw your sticks and your stones,
Throw your bombs and your blows,
But you're not gonna break my soul"
"Cause you ripped me up
Your love was cheap
It was always tearing at the seams
I fell deep and you let me drown
But that was then and this is now"
"Now look at me I'm sparklin'
A firework, a dancin' flame
You will never put me out again
I'm glowin' oh-oh whoa oh"
"So you can keep the diamond ring
It don't mean nothing anyway
In fact you can keep everything, yeah, yeah
Except for me"
Agree with the others, it's a screw you to Russell Brand, especially when she started with ET at the Grammy's, which we can assume was written for him. I love Katy Perry and how strong she is.
The song meaning is pretty self-explanatory....she dealt with an emotionally abusive man but he did not break her soul and he never will.
