A Little Bit Stronger
Leighton_Meester Lyrics

Woke up late today,
Despite sleeping in, the pain of the breakup still lingers.

And I still feel the sting of the pain,
She is still hurting from the breakup.

But I brushed my teeth anyway.
She tries to maintain her normal routine and take care of herself, regardless of how she feels.

I got dressed through the mess,
Even though she feels overwhelmed, she manages to get ready for the day.

And put a smile on my face.
She makes an effort to appear happy, even though she is struggling emotionally.

I got a little bit stronger.
Each day that passes, she gets a little bit better and more resilient.

Riding in the car to work,
She is commuting to her job.

And I'm trying to ignore the hurt.
She attempts to distract herself from the pain she feels.

So I turned on the radio,
She listens to music for a diversion.

Stupid song made me think of you.
A song on the radio reminds her of her ex-partner.

I listened to it for a minute,
She briefly indulges in her thoughts of her ex but quickly moves on.

But then I changed it.
She decides to switch to a different station and avoid the emotional trigger.

I'm getting a little bit stronger,
Her resilience is growing every day, no matter how small the progress.

Just a little bit stronger.
She recognizes that the progress is not drastic but still significant.

And I'm done hoping we can work it out,
She no longer has hope for reconciliation with her ex.

I'm done with how it feels
The rollercoaster of emotions from the relationship has exhausted her.

Spinning my wheels,
She feels like she has been stuck in the same pattern and not making progress.

Letting you drag my heart around.
Her ex has caused her emotional turmoil.

And I'm done thinking you could ever change,
She has accepted that her ex will not change, and it is not worth waiting for.

I know my heart will never be the same.
Her heartache has impacted her significantly, and she is changed by the experience.

But I'm telling myself I'll be okay,
She refuses to let the breakup consume her and believes that she will be okay in the end.

Even on my weakest days,
On days when the pain is the most overwhelming, she perseveres.

I get a little bit stronger.
With time, she gets stronger and learns how to cope with her heartache.

It doesn't happen overnight,
She realizes that healing takes time and cannot happen overnight.

But you turn around and a months gone by,
Time flies, and she acknowledges that even though it feels slow sometimes.

And you realize you haven't cried.
When she reflects on her progress, she notices that she has made strides and has not cried as much as before.

I'm not giving you an hour,
She is not giving her ex any more of her time or energy.

Or a second, or another minute longer.
No matter how short the time span, she is moving on and not dwelling on the past.

I'm busy getting stronger.
She is focused on her personal growth and not letting her ex's actions hold her back anymore.

Getting along without you baby,
She is capable of functioning and moving forward without her ex-partner.

Better off without you baby,
She believes that she is better off without her ex in her life.

How does it feel without me baby?
She wonders if her ex is experiencing the same pain and emotional turmoil as she is.

I'm getting stronger without you baby.
She is still improving, and her ex has no influence over that.

I get a little bit stronger.
Each day brings an opportunity to grow and become stronger, no matter how small that progress may be.

Just a little bit stronger.
Small strides can still make a big impact in terms of healing and personal growth.

Little bit, little bit, little bit stronger.
Her progress may be small, but it is still progress nonetheless.

Get a little bit stronger.
She is on the path to becoming a stronger, more resilient person.
