Stronger
Tonie Swain Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I smile, then I turn away
You know, I won’t be back today
All the things you said
To try and bring me down
I’m fed up with your lies,
And that’s why I’m out

I’m stronger than you
I still know my way
Your poisons been rejected

I’m stronger than you
I still know my way
Your poisons been rejected

Don’t trip as you fade away
Stay warm, it’s cold outside today
The moments that you thought,
Would always be around
You’ve taken me for granted
And that’s why I’m out

I’m stronger than you
I still know my way
Your poisons been rejected

I’m stronger than you
I still know my way
Your poisons been rejected

I’m stronger than you
I still know my way
Your poisons been rejected

I’m stronger than you

I’m stronger than you




I’m stronger than you
I still know my way
