Fighter
Scott Storch and Christina Aguilera Lyrics

Well I thought I knew you, thinkin' that you were true
I believed that you were an honest person

Guess I, I couldn't trust called your bluff time is up
But it turns out that I was wrong, and now I realize that I cannot rely on you

'Cause I've had enough
I am no longer willing to put up with your deceitful behavior

You were there by my side, always down for the ride
You appeared to be supportive and loyal to me

But your joy ride just came down in flames cause your greed sold me out in shame
However, your selfishness and desire for personal gain ended up betraying and shaming me

After all of the stealing and cheating you probably think that
Considering all the thievery and deceit you committed, you may believe that

I hold resentment for you
I bear a grudge against you

But uh uh, oh no, you're wrong
But that is incorrect. You do not understand the impact that you had on me

'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do, I wouldn't know
In fact, if it weren't for all of your negative actions, I may have never learned

Just how capable I am to pull through
Just how strong and resilient I can be in the face of adversity

So I want to say thank you
So I feel grateful to you

'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Because everything you did helped make me even stronger

Makes me work a little bit harder
Forces me to put in more effort each day

It makes me that much wiser
Gives me greater wisdom and insight

So thanks for making me a fighter
So I appreciate being given the strength and skills to defend myself

Made me learn a little bit faster
Accelerated my learning and growth process

Made my skin a little bit thicker
Helped to make me more resilient and less sensitive

Makes me that much smarter
Enables me to become even smarter and more savvy

Never saw it coming, all of your backstabbing
I was completely blindsided by your treacherous behavior

Just so you could cash in on a good thing before I'd realize your game
You did this in order to reap financial rewards before I could catch on to your scheme

I heard you're goin' round playin', the victim now
I have heard that you are now trying to play the victim

But don't even begin feeling I'm the one to blame
However, you need to realize that I am not at fault here

'Cause you dug your own grave
Your own poor choices and actions led to your downfall

After all of the fights and the lies cause you're wanting to haunt me
You continued to attack and deceive me in order to torment me

But that won't work anymore, no more,
But I am now immune to your tactics

It's over
Our relationship is now officially over

'Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture
Had it not been for all of the pain and suffering you caused me

I wouldn't know how to be this way now and never back down
I may have never learned how to be so strong and resilient, and how to stand my ground

So I want to say thank you
So I am grateful for these experiences

How could this man I thought I knew
How could the person that I thought I knew so well

Turn out to be unjust so cruel
End up being an unfair and cruel individual

Could only see the good in you
I was only able to see the positive aspects of your personality

Pretended not to know the truth
I pretended that I was unaware of your true nature

You tried to hide your lies, disguise yourself
You attempted to conceal your deceitful behavior and present a false facade

Through living in denial
By refusing to acknowledge the reality of the situation

But in the end you'll see
Eventually, you will come to the realization

You won't stop me
That you will not be able to prevent me from being successful and strong

I am a fighter and I
I am a resilient and strong person, and

I ain't goin' stop
I will not be deterred or defeated

There is no turning back
I am committed to moving forward and progressing

You thought I would forget,
You may have assumed that I would someday forget

But I remember
But I will always remember

So thanks for making me a fighter
Therefore, I am grateful for the lessons that I have learned and the strength that I have gained
