(feat. Charli Baltimore)

[Chorus:]
I am stronger than before
I have risen from a fall
I will break down anything in my way without looking back at all
I am stronger than before
Not a thing can hold me down
I will make it
I will take it
I will always be around

There is a thing that I got
Something I never had before
There is a reason I've got
To be everything I am I'm sure
I have been weakened by you
For 1 hundred days too long
I have been broken in two
But I've never felt so strong

There is a power inside me
Its pushing now and its not letting go
There is a feeling inside me
I'm not slowing down and it wont let me stop
Making me more than I am
Holding you where you are
And I'm reaching the top
Aint nothing that you can do
Cause I'm already there and I'm not going to drop

[Chorus:]
I am stronger than before
I have risen from a fall
I will break down anything in my way without looking back at all
I am stronger than before
Not a thing can hold me down
I will make it
I will take it
I will always be around

I wont be broken no more
Because I'm everything I'm meant to be
It doesn't matter before
I'm changing every thing bout me
Now I believe in myself
Not a thing can touch me now
No interest in anyone else
I'm all about making myself proud

[Pre-Chorus:]
There is a power inside me
Its pushing now and its not letting go
There is a feeling inside me
I'm not slowing down and it wont let me stop
Making me more than I am
Holding you where you are
And I'm reaching the top
Aint nothing that you can do
Cause I'm already there and I'm not going to drop

[Chorus:]
I am stronger than before
I have risen from a fall
I will break down anything in my way without looking back at all
I am stronger than before
Not a thing can hold me down
I will make it
I will take it
I will always be around

I'm not gonna drop
I'm not gonna drop




I'm not gonna stop
I'm not gonna drop
