STRONGER
Hewitt Jennifer Love Lyrics

I'd like you to meet the girl they call next door
Introducing a relatable girl that everyone knows

You'll know her 'cause you've seen her face before
She's like any other girl you've seen

He left you and he broke your heart in two
She's been hurt by someone she loved

You don't know if you'll ever make it through
She's uncertain if she'll recover from this heartbreak

He had to go leave you all alone
Her ex-partner abandoned her

I promise you're much better on your own
Being single is better than being with someone who doesn't appreciate you

Take it from me 'cause I've been there
The artist has been through a similar experience

I once had a man who didn't care
The artist was with a partner who didn't treat her right

Promised myself I would never love again
She made a vow to never let herself get hurt again

I've been hurt, I've been blind, and that's the end
Her painful experience has ended her romantic journey

I have fought, I have cried, I have bled
She's gone through an emotional battle trying to find true love

For the love that never has been said
She's searching for love that's never been expressed

He'll love you, he won't love you
There's uncertainty when it comes to love

But you've got to ‘cause you're stronger than you were before
She acknowledges her strength and ability to handle whatever comes her way

You'll be there, he won't be there
She's preparing for the possibility of being alone

But you've been there and you're stronger than you were before
Again, she acknowledges her strength and ability to handle anything

Take a minute, make a new plan
She's offering advice to take a moment and come up with a fresh approach

Take a while before a new man
It's important not to rush into a new relationship

Find the one that I adore
She's looking for someone she genuinely loves

But better yet, the one who loves me more
She also wants someone who loves her equally or more than she loves them

Girl to girl, I know we've all been there
She's speaking to other women who have gone through a similar heartbreak

In the mirror I know that we've all stared
Reminding listeners of times they've looked at themselves in the mirror and reflected on their own struggles

To find a place that's within our hearts
She's encouraging listeners to look within themselves to find comfort

Never let your soul and spirit part
She's urging listeners to stay true to themselves

Girl I know you'll feel better if you cried
It's okay to express your emotions through tears

But you will be stronger if you look inside
Strength comes from within

Love doesn't always mean that you'll see eye to eye
Love isn't always easy and requires compromise

But great love will always help you learn to fly
A good relationship can help you grow and achieve your goals

You can hold him close and let him kiss you
It's okay to be physically close to your partner

But just not too tight, he's gotta miss you
Don't suffocate your partner

Make a love that you know your heart will preserve
She's encouraging listeners to create a lasting, meaningful relationship

Live a life that all of us deserve
Everyone deserves happiness

And he will
She's hopeful that her listeners will find the love they deserve
