What Don't Kill You Makes You Stronger
Natalia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I heard you called our friends again
Leave me alone
How many times do I have to say
I'm not at home
Its the short straw that broke the camels back
Its a fast road to a heart attack
Wanna thank you baby
Cause you brought me back to reality
Now you made me see
I wont take it any longer
Hate you, is it any wonder?
Paid my bill baby
What don't kill you makes you stronger.
Love don't live here any longer
Don't you get it, don't belong to you
Had my fill baby
What don't kill you makes you stronger
You send me letters about the s**
Try to control me
Don't send a text, you're just my ex
You never owned me
Its the short straw that broke the camels back
Its a fast road to a heart attack
Wanna thank you baby
Cause you brought me back to reality
Now you made me see
I wont take it any longer
Hate you is it any wonder?
Paid my bill baby
What don't kill you makes you stronger
What don't kill you makes you stronger (2x)
What don't kill you (3x)
Now you made me see
What don't kill you makes you stronger (2x)
What don't kill you (3x)
Its the short straw that broke the camels back
I'm gone, gone, I aint coming back
Its all over
Get used to that new reality
Set me free
I wont take it any longer
Hate you, is it any wonder?
Paid my bill baby
What don't kill you makes you stronger
Love don't live here any longer
Don't you get it, don't belong to you
I've had my fill baby
What don't kill you makes you stronger
What don't kill you makes you stronger
What don't kill you makes you stronger




What don't kill you, what don't kill you
What don't kill you, makes you stronger.
