Stronger
Cory Monteith Kevin McHale & Mark Salling Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hush, just stop
There's nothing you can do or say (baby)
I've had enough
I'm not your property as from today (baby)

You might think that I won't make it on my own
But now I'm

Stronger than yesterday
Now it's nothin' but my way
My loneliness ain't killing me no more
I, I'm stronger

Than I ever thought that I could be (baby)
I used to go with the flow
Didn't really care 'bout me

You might think that I can't take it
But your wrong
'Cause now I'm

Stronger than yesterday
Now it's nothin' but my way
My loneliness ain't killing me no more

I, I'm stronger

Come on now
Oh yeah
Here I go
On my own
I don't need nobody
Better off alone

Here I go on my own now
I don't need nobody not anybody
Here I go

Alright

Here I go

Stronger than yesterday
Its nothin' but my way
My loneliness ain't killin' me no more

I'm stronger than yesterday
Now it's nothin' but my way
My loneliness ain't killing me no more
I, I'm stronger

Now I'm stronger than yesterday
Now it's nothin' but my way
My loneliness ain't killing me no more

I, I'm stronger
I'm stronger
