They made me.. they shaped me.. they baked me.. ..but they don't know me. [Verse] They took the dough and rolled it flat, Cut me into shapes, imagine that. They wanted circles, they wanted neat, They wanted something easy to eat. But I was different from the start, They couldn't mold my stubborn heart. They pressed me down, they turned the heat, They thought I'd crumble—I'm not that sweet. They put me in the oven, set the timer, Thought I'd burn out, get smaller and slimmer. But when they opened up the door, I was still standing—stronger than before. [Pre-Chorus] You can break me, you can chew, You can do what you want to do. But every piece you try to take, I'll put myself back—for goodness sake! [Chorus] Eat me! Break me! I'll still hold on! Crumble me into tiny pieces— My soul, my heart— I'll put it back when everyone leaves! I'm the cookie! I'm the one! You can't destroy what's just begun! Eat me! Break me! I'll still be strong! [Verse] They wanted Oreo—smooth and sweet, Perfect layers, easy to beat. But I'm not cookie-cutter, not mass-produced, I'm the organ that just won't be subdued. You think I'm fragile? Think again, I filter out all your poison and pain. I take the hits, I take the shots, I keep on working when the pressure gets hot. They wanted a snack, they wanted a treat, But I'm not something you can just eat. I'm the cookie, I'm the core, The one you can't ignore. [Pre-Chorus - building, orchestral swell] You can stomp me, you can grind, Try to leave me far behind. But every time you think I'm done, I rise up stronger—I've already won! [Chorus] Eat me! Break me! I'll still hold on! Crumble me into tiny pieces— My soul, my heart— I'll put it back when everyone leaves! I'm the cookie! I'm the one! You can't destroy what's just begun! Eat me! Break me! I'll still be strong! [Bridge] They wanted me to be like all the rest.. Perfect little cookies, baked to impress. But I'm not Ritz, I'm not Chips Ahoy, I'm not your average snack—I'm not your toy. I'm the cookie.. I filter the pain.. I take all the damage.. And I still remain. SO COME ON BRING YOUR BEST THROW YOUR PUNCHES I CAN TAKE THE TEST CRUMBLE ME SHATTER ME I DON'T CARE I'LL PUT MYSELF TOGETHER— I'LL STILL BE THERE EAT ME! BREAK ME! I'LL STILL HOLD ON! CRUMBLE ME INTO TINY PIECES— MY SOUL, MY HEART— I'LL RISE AGAIN WHEN EVERYONE LEAVES! I'M THE COOKIE! I'M THE ONE! YOU CAN'T DESTROY WHAT'S JUST BEGUN! EAT ME! BREAK ME! I'LL STILL BE STRONG! They baked me.. they shaped me.. they tried to change me..
