Stronger
CLARKSON KELLY/PROJECT 46 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sleeping here alone
You know I dream in color
And do the things I want
You think you got the best of me
Think you had the last laugh
Bet you think that everything good is gone
Think that I'd come running back
Baby you don't know me, 'cause you're dead wrong
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over 'cause you're gone
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
You heard that I was starting over with someone new
But told you I was moving on over you
You didn't think that I'd come back
I'd come back swinging
You try to break me but you see what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over 'cause you're gone
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
Thanks to you I got a new thing started
Thanks to you I'm not the broken-hearted
Thanks to you I'm finally thinking 'bout me
You know in the end the day to left was just my beginning
In the end
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over 'cause you're gone
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
When I'm alone
The song "Stronger" by CLARKSON KELLY/PROJECT 46 is an empowering anthem about overcoming heartbreak and adversity. The lyrics describe the singer's journey towards self-discovery and resilience after a difficult breakup. The first verse sets the scene of the singer sleeping alone in bed, dreaming in color and doing the things they want. This paints a picture of independence and freedom, but also implies some level of loneliness.
The chorus is the heart of the song, with the repeated line "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger." This is a powerful message about resilience and the idea that adversity can ultimately make us stronger. The chorus also emphasizes the idea that being alone doesn't equal loneliness, and that strength can come from within. The second verse describes the singer's ex-partner's disbelief when they hear that the singer is moving on and starting over with someone new. The bridge of the song acknowledges the ex-partner's role in the singer's growth, thanking them for helping to start a new chapter in their life.
Overall, "Stronger" is a song that speaks to the universal human experience of overcoming challenges and finding strength in adversity. It celebrates the power of self-reliance and resilience in the face of heartbreak and difficult times.
