Stronger
Love Like Gravity Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your flex, I flinch
our aims collide
I can feel the tendonds tighten as they grind
Debris and stone,
in heavy rounds
You can bruise my skin but you won't break me down
Just out of reach
I'm down on callus knees
I'm soo much stronger
You size me up like I'm a cinch, but
It ain't like before
this ain't like before
I'm stronger now
The soldier in me is gonna overcome
It ain't like before
so invincible
I'm stronger now
You strike, I slide
my knuckles, white
I can feel the muscles start to petrify
You twist my arm,
but not my fate
I won't be crushed beneath your cold, dead weight
Just out of reach
I'm down on callus knees
I'm so much stronger
You size me up like I'm a cinch, but
It ain't like before
this ain't like before
I'm stronger now
The soldier in me is gonna overcome
It ain't like before
so invincible
I'm stronger now
Just out of reach
I'm down on callus knees
I'm soo much stronger
You size me up like I'm a cinch, but
It ain't like before
this ain't like before
I'm stronger now
The soldier in me is gonna overcome
It ain't like before
so invincible
I'm stronger now
You size me up like I'm a cinch, but
It ain't like before
this ain't like before
I'm stronger now
The soldier in me is gonna overcome
It ain't like before
so invincible
It ain't like before
so invincible




I'm stronger now
I'm stronger now
