STRONGER
Kelly Clarkson (ft. Sam Tsui) Lyrics

You know the bed feels warmer
Sleeping alone makes the bed feel empty and cold

Sleeping here alone
Being without you in bed makes me feel lonely and empty

You know I dream in color
My dreams are filled with the vibrancy and passion that you lacked in my life

And do the things I want
I am now able to pursue my passion and desires, without being held back by you

You think you got the best of me
You believe that you have control and power over me

Think you've had the last laugh
You believe that you have won the battle and have nothing else to prove

Bet you think that everything good is gone
You think that without you, I have lost everything good in my life

Think you left me broken down
You left me feeling shattered and destroyed

Think that I'd come running back
You believe that I would have no other choice but to come back to you

Baby you don't know me, cause you're dead wrong
You have no idea who I really am and what I am capable of achieving without you

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Going through difficult times can make you stronger in the end

Stand a little taller
After overcoming challenges, you can feel more confident and proud of yourself

Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
Just because I am alone, it does not mean that I am feeling lonely or incomplete

What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Going through struggles can build resilience and determination

Footsteps even lighter
After overcoming obstacles, you can feel lighter and more carefree

Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone
Just because you are out of my life, it doesn't mean that I have completely moved on

Just me, myself and I
I am now focused on myself and my own growth

You heard that I was starting over with someone new
You heard that I have moved on and am starting a new chapter with someone else

They told you I was moving on, over you
You were informed that I am finally able to put you behind me and move forward

You didn't think that I'd come back
You believed that I would simply give up and never attempt to make a comeback

I'd come back swinging
I am determined to come back stronger than ever before

You try to break me, but you see
Despite your efforts to break me, I am still standing and determined to succeed

Thanks to you I got a new thing started
Because of the pain and difficulties you caused me, I was able to start a new, better chapter in my life

Thanks to you I'm not the broken hearted
Despite the heartache you caused me, I was able to heal and become stronger

Thanks to you I'm finally thinking about me
Because of your absence, I am now able to prioritize myself and my own growth

You know in the end the day you left was just my beginning
The day you left me was actually the beginning of a new and better life for me

(When I'm alone)
Even when I am alone, I am able to find strength and resilience within myself
