I've never heard that one, but it might be a regional variant. I always heard the other one.

I grew up with 'words can never hurt me', but this variant is my favorite:

Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will hurt forever.

I'm not a native speaker, so almost every time I hear that phrase it ends after "sticks and stones", because on TV and movies, that's usually enough for the intended audience.

After Googling, I think I might have picked up this version from Tim Minchins song "prejudice" [1] although Google also come up with this clip where a senator also use the "break my heart" version, clearly when it was meant for him to say "never harm" [2]
