Stronger
Melinda Schneider Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Though I?m not too sure where I?m going
I?ve spent the best part of my life so far in a love that just wasn?t growing
But 10 years can change the world, totally make a girl different to when she was younger
You held my hand when I lost my dad
We cried for what seemed like forever
Now we?re crying again shaking our heads as we share one more ending together
We gave it our best and it?s hard to accept that this love couldn?t last any longer
But spending these years beside you made me stronger
It so hard to let you go
It?s so sad how we both know
This is my stop it?s time to get off
Though I?m not too sure where I?m going
I?ve spent the best part of my life so far in a love that just wasn?t growing
But 10 years can change the world, totally make a girl different to when she was younger
And spending these years beside you made me stronger
Spending these years beside you
Spending these years beside you makes me stronger
The lyrics of Melinda Schneider's song 'Stronger' speaks about a woman who has finally decided to end a long-term relationship that has gone stale. She admits that she does not know where she is going, but she knows a change is necessary as the love was not growing. However, she acknowledges that the ten years spent in the relationship have changed her in ways she could not have predicted. She has become stronger, and this strength has come partly from the support of her partner, especially during difficult times such as when she lost her father. As they both face yet another ending, they are sad but resigned to it. They know it's hard to let go, but it's time to get off.
The song is about recognizing when a relationship has reached its end and having the courage to move forward. It is an ode to the strength that can be found in oneself, as well as to the importance of having the support of loved ones. It is a beautiful and introspective ballad that speaks to the hearts of anyone who has been through a difficult breakup.
