Fighter
Christina Aguilera Lyrics

Hmm, after all you put me through You'd think I'd despise you But in the end, I wanna thank you 'Cause you made me that much stronger
Although I should hate you for the pain I went through, I want to thank you because it has made me stronger.

Well I, I thought I knew you Thinkin' that you were true Guess I, I couldn't trust Called your bluff, time is up, 'cause I've had enough You were there by my side, always down for the ride But your joy ride just came down in flames 'Cause your greed sold me out in shame, mm-hmm
I believed that you were an honest person, but after finding out the truth and seeing your true intentions, I have had enough.

After all of the stealing and cheating You probably think that I hold resentment for you But uh-uh, oh no, yeah, you're wrong 'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do I wouldn't know just how capable I am to pull through So I wanna say thank you 'Cause it Makes me that much stronger Makes me work a little bit harder It makes me that much wiser So thanks for making me a fighter Made me learn a little bit faster Made my skin a little bit thicker Makes me that much smarter So thanks for making me a fighter
Despite what you may think, I don't hold grudges because I have grown stronger, more resilient, and more intelligent through my hardships, and I am grateful for that.

I never saw it coming All of your backstabbing Just so you could cash in on a good thing before I realized your game I heard you're goin' 'round playin' the victim now But don't even begin feeling I'm the one to blame 'Cause you dug your own grave
Your betrayal caught me off guard, and you did it to gain from me before I realized what you were doing. Now, you are playing the victim, but I won't take responsibility for the consequences you created for yourself.

After all of the fights and the lies Guess you're wanting to haunt me But that won't work anymore No more, uh-uh, it's over 'Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture I wouldn't know how to be this way now and never back down So I wanna say thank you 'Cause it Makes me that much stronger Makes me work a little bit harder It makes me that much wiser So thanks for making me a fighter Made me learn a little bit faster Made my skin a little bit thicker Makes me that much smarter So thanks for making me a fighter
Despite your attempts to intimidate and harm me, I have learned to be unwavering and stand up for myself, and I thank you for that development.

How could this man I thought I knew Turn out to be unjust, so cruel? Could only see the good in you Pretended not to see the truth You tried to hide your lies, disguise yourself Through living in denial But in the end you'll see You won't stop me
I can't believe that the person I thought you were could be so cruel and unjust. I only saw the good in you and neglected to acknowledge the truth. You tried to conceal your deception and ignorance by denying it, but I won't let that stop me from moving forward.

I am a fighter and I (I'm a fighter) I ain't gon' stop (I ain't gon' stop) There is no turning back I've had enough
I am a fighter who won't give up, and I have reached a point where I won't turn back.

Thought I would forget Thought I, but I remembered (oh) 'Cause I remember (oh) I remember Thought I would forget (oh) I remember (oh) 'Cause I remember (oh) I remember
I thought I could forget what happened and move on, but I still remember everything clearly, and it has made me stronger.
