Stronger
Faith Hill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just want you to be free
There ain't no freedom where we are
Ain't no wishes in these stars
Ain't no reason to believe
But don't worry baby
Don't you worry
A little bruising, a little bleeding
Some space that we can breathe in
Some silence in between
So cry for me baby, and I'll cry for you
And we'll both break down and we'll both break through
We'll find our way and we'll face the truth
We both will be stronger
And we'll lie down in our loneliness
And wake up with our sad regrets
Even though we don't know it yet
We both will be stronger
We both will be stronger
I can't believe you're really gone now
But I know it's for the best
And I know that we weren't right
But I still reach for you each night
And man that hurts like hell
So cry for me baby, and I'll cry for you
And we'll both break down and we'll both break through
We'll find our way and we'll face the truth
We both will be stronger
And we'll lie down in our loneliness
And wake up with our sad regrets
Even though we don't know it yet
We both will be stronger
We both will be stronger
So Baby
So cry for me baby, and I'll cry for you
And we'll both break down and we'll both break through
We'll find our way and we'll face the truth
We both will be stronger
And we'll lie down in our loneliness
And wake up with our sad regrets
Even though we don't know it yet
We both will be stronger
We both will be stronger
This is the window to my heart
I just want us to be free
Baby I'm sorry for the way things are
Goodbye is always hard
And we both will be stronger
In Faith Hill's song "Stronger," the lyrics express the pain of trying to let go of a relationship that isn't working. The chorus highlights the need for space and silence, and the idea that tears and heartbreak can lead to growth and self-reliance. Hill sings about the difficulty of saying goodbye and feeling the pain of reaching for someone who is no longer there. The lyrics suggest that though the pain of separation hurts, it is a necessary step in both parties growing stronger.
The song's message can resonate with anyone who has experienced the sadness of a breakup. The verses capture feelings of hopelessness and a lack of freedom in a relationship that is no longer working. The sections that suggest "a little bruising, a little bleeding" could be interpreted as acknowledging the pain that must come with accepting the end of a relationship. With the repeated line "We both will be stronger," the song stresses the idea of moving on and finding personal strength in the midst of heartache.

This is the window to my heart
Opening up to show my true feelings
I just want you to be free
I want to let you go from the pain and guilt
There ain't no freedom where we are
We are trapped in our own turmoil
Ain't no wishes in these stars
We have lost hope
Ain't no reason to believe
There seems to be no way out
But don't worry baby
But there is hope
Don't you worry
Don't be afraid
Maybe this is what we need
Perhaps this pain is necessary for growth
A little bruising, a little bleeding
We need to experience some pain
Some space that we can breathe in
We need distance to clear our minds
Some silence in between
We need quiet time to reflect
So cry for me baby, and I'll cry for you
We need to let our emotions out
And we'll both break down and we'll both break through
We will feel broken but it's necessary for our healing
We'll find our way and we'll face the truth
We need to acknowledge the reality of our situation
We both will be stronger
We will grow from this experience
And we'll lie down in our loneliness
We will feel alone and vulnerable
And wake up with our sad regrets
We will have regrets of our past actions
Even though we don't know it yet
We are not aware of the strength we will gain
I can't believe you're really gone now
I cannot fathom that you've left my life
But I know it's for the best
But I understand it's necessary for our growth
And I know that we weren't right
We were not good for each other
But I still reach for you each night
I still miss you greatly
And man that hurts like hell
My emotions are too painful
Goodbye is always hard
Saying goodbye is difficult
So Baby
My love
We both will be stronger
We will both grow from this pain
