A Little Bit Stronger
Danielle Bradbery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I brushed my teeth anyway
got dressed through the mess and put a smile on my face
I got a little bit stronger
Riding in the car to work, and I'm trying to ignore the hurt
So I turned on the radio, Stupid song made me think of you
I listened to it for minute, but then I changed it
And I'm done hoping that we can work it out
I'm done with how it feels, spinning my wheels
Letting you drag my heart around
And oh
I'm done thinking, that you could ever change
I know my heart will never be the same
But I'm telling myself I'll be okay
Even on my weakest days, I get a little bit stronger
Doesn't happen over night, but you turn around and a months gone by
And you realize you haven't cried
I'm not giving you a hour or a second or another minute longer
I'm busy getting stronger
And I'm done hoping that we can work it out
I'm done with how it feels, spinning my wheels
Letting you drag my heart around
And oh
I'm done thinking, that you could ever change
I know my heart will never be the same
But I'm telling myself I'll be okay
Even on my weakest days, I get a little bit stronger
Getting along without you baby
I'm better off without you baby
How does it feel with out me baby?
I'm getting stronger without you baby
And I'm done hoping that we can work it out
I'm done with how it feels, spinning my wheels
Letting you drag my heart around
And oh
I'm done thinking, that you could ever change
I know my heart will never be the same
But I'm telling myself I'll be okay
Even on my weakest days, I get a little bit stronger
A little bit, a little bit, a little bit stronger
The song A Little Bit Stronger by Danielle Bradbery is a story of a woman who is trying to move on from a painful breakup. She wakes up feeling the pain but puts a smile on her face and goes on with her day. While in her car on her way to work, she tries to ignore the hurt by turning on the radio. However, a song triggers memories of her ex, but she changes it and continues to get stronger. She reflects on how it doesn't happen overnight, but with time, she hasn't cried, and she's not giving her ex any more of her time.
The chorus conveys the message that she is done hoping that they can work it out. She's tired of feeling stuck and letting him drag her heart around. She's done thinking he could ever change, and she knows her heart will never be the same, but she's telling herself she'll be okay. The ending of the song shows how she is not only getting along without him but thriving and getting stronger.

Woke up late today, and I still feel the sting of the pain
Even though I woke up late, I still feel the pain from our breakup
But I brushed my teeth anyway
I'm trying to take care of myself despite the pain
got dressed through the mess and put a smile on my face
I'm pushing through the emotional turmoil to face the day
I got a little bit stronger
Each day, I'm getting stronger and moving on
Riding in the car to work, and I'm trying to ignore the hurt
I'm struggling to handle the pain while trying to focus on work
So I turned on the radio, Stupid song made me think of you
A song on the radio reminds me of you and the pain resurfaces
I listened to it for minute, but then I changed it
I'm working on avoiding triggers that remind me of you
I'm getting a little bit stronger, just a little bit stronger
Each day, I'm slowly building strength and moving on from the past
And I'm done hoping that we can work it out
I've given up on the idea of us reconciling
I'm done with how it feels, spinning my wheels
I'm tired of feeling stuck and not making progress
Letting you drag my heart around
I'm tired of giving you power over my emotions
I'm done thinking, that you could ever change
I know you won't change and it's time for me to move on
I know my heart will never be the same
Even though I'm moving on, my heart will always bear the scars of our breakup
But I'm telling myself I'll be okay
I'm trying to reassure myself that I'll be okay despite the pain
Even on my weakest days, I get a little bit stronger
No matter how hard it gets, I'm still making progress and getting stronger
Doesn't happen over night, but you turn around and a months gone by
Healing and moving on takes time, but eventually, you'll realize how far you've come
And you realize you haven't cried
Eventually, you'll have days where you don't cry and the pain isn't as intense
I'm not giving you a hour or a second or another minute longer
I'm not giving you any more of my time or energy than you've already taken
I'm busy getting stronger
Instead of focusing on you, I'm focusing on myself and building my strength
Getting along without you baby
I'm starting to get by without you in my life
I'm better off without you baby
I realize I'm better off without you in my life
How does it feel with out me baby?
I wonder if you're feeling the same pain that I am without you in my life
I'm getting stronger without you baby
I'm growing stronger and healing without you in my life
A little bit, a little bit, a little bit stronger
Each day, I'm slowly getting stronger and moving on from the pain
