Stronger Than I Was

You used to say that I'd never be

Nothing without you and I'd believe

I'm shot in the lungs, I gasp, I can't breathe

Just lay here with me, baby, hold me please

And I'd beg and I'd plead, drop to knees

And I'd cry and I'd scream, "Baby, please don't leave"

Snatch the keys from your hand, I would squeeze

And you'd laugh, and you'd tease, you're just fucking with me

And you must hate me, why do you date me if you say I make you sick?

And you've enough to me, I smother you

I'm 'bout to jump off this edge

But you won't break me, you'll just make me stronger than I was

Before I met you, I bet you I'll be just fine without you

And if I stumble, I won't crumble, I'll get back up and uhh

But I'mma still be humble when I scream "Fuck you"

'Cause I'm stronger than I was

A beautiful face is all that you have

Cause on the inside you're ugly and mad

But you're all that I love, I grasp, you can't leave

Please stay here with me, baby hold me please

And I'd beg and I plead, drop to knees

And I'd cry and I'd scream, baby, please don't leave

'Cause you left and you took everything I had left

And left nothing, nothing for me

So please don't wake me from this dream, baby

We're still together in my head

And you're still in love with me

'Till I woke up to discover that that dream was dead

But you won't break me, you'll just make me stronger than I was

Before I met you, I bet you I'll be just fine without you

And if I stumble, I won't crumble, I'll get back up and uhh

But I'mma still be humble when I scream, "Fuck you"

'Cause I'm stronger than I was

You walked out, I almost died, it was almost a homicide

That you caused cause I was so traumatized

Felt like I was in for a long bus ride

I'd rather die than you not be by my side

Can't count how many times I vomited, cried

Go to my room, turn the radio on and hide, uh

Thought we were Bonnie and Clyde, no

On the inside you were Jekyll and Hyde

I felt like my whole relationship with you was a lie

It was you and I, why did I think it was ride or die?

'Cause if you coulda, took my life you woulda

It's like you put a, knife through my chest

And pushed it right through to the, other side

Of my back and stuck a spike too, shoulda

Put up more of a fight, but I couldn't

At the time, no one could hurt me like you coulda

Take you back now, what's the likelihood of that?

Bite me bitch, chewing on a nineteen footer

'Cause this morning I finally stood up

Held my chin up, finally showed a sign

Of life in me for the, first time since you left me

And left me with nothing but shattered dreams

And the life we coulda, had and we could've been

But I'm breaking out of this slump I'm in

Pulling myself out of the dumps once again

I'm getting up once and for all, fuck this shit

I'ma be late for the pity party

But you're never gonna beat me to the fucking punch again

Took it on the chin like a champ

So don't lump me in with the chump ends

I'm done being your punching bag

It was the November 31st today

Would've been our anniversary

Two years but you left on the first of May

I wrote it on a calendar, was gonna call

But couldn't think of the words to say

But they came to me just now

So I put 'em in a verse to lay

And I thank you cause you made me a better person than I was

But I hate you cause you drained me, I gave you all, you gave me none

But if you blame me, you're crazy and after all is said and done

I'm still angry, yeah, I maybe, I may never trust someone

But you won't break me, you'll just make me stronger than I was

Before I met you, I bet you I'll be just fine without you

And if I stumble, I won't crumble, I'll get back up and uhh

But I'mma still be humble when I scream, "Fuck you"

'Cause I'm stronger than I was
