Lyrics
Stronger Lyrics by D. Wedekind, Music by D. Wedekind 3/28/15 Copyright 2015, ASCAP divaprince@centurylink.net 108 BPM
Used to think I was so young
Life was about having fun,
Used to think that I'd never find
Myself so alone...
Like I'm losing my mind.
Look around what do I see?
A thousand words reminding me
Of long ago when I was so carefree
That brave strong one
I'm still pretending to be.
What doesn't kill you makes you, stronger,
You don't have to be afraid, any longer,
The best things in life are worth the fight
Remember it's the darkest just before the light.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger,
What's the use if you don't dream any longer?
Don't give in, never give up the fight,
You've got a second chance now, make it right.
Used to be so full of hope
But Superwoman never says "no"
Started to judge everyone else
'Cause I forgot how
To be content with myself.
Too tired to think of it now
Been awhile and it's kind late,
Two wrongs they don't, don't make it right
Forget about the past
And learn from mistakes
What doesn't kill you makes you, stronger,
You don't have to be afraid, any longer,
The best things in life, are worth the fight
Remember it's the darkest just before the light.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger,
What's the use if you don't dream any longer?
Don't give in, never give up the fight,
You've got a second chance, now make it right.
Outro Instrumental Bridge 16 Measures
What doesn't kill you makes you, stronger,
You don't have to be afraid any longer,
The best things in life are worth the fight
Remember it's the darkest just before the light.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger,
What's the use if you don't dream any longer?
Don't give in, never give up the fight,
You've got a second chance now, make it right.
