Stronger Than I Was

You used to say (used to say)
That I'd never be
Nothing without you
And I believed
I'm shot in the lungs (in the lungs)
I gasp, I can't breathe
Just lay here with me (here with me)
Baby hold me please

And I'd beg and I'd plead
Drop to knees
And I'd cry and I'd scream
Baby please don't leave
Snatch the keys from your hand
I would squeeze and you'd laugh
And you'd tease
You're just fuckin' with me

And you must hate me
Why do you date me if you say I make you sad?
And you've had enough of me
I smother you, I'm 'bout to jump off the edge

But you won't break me
You just make me
Stronger than I was
Before I met
I bet you I'll be just
Fine without you
And if I stumble
I won't crumble
I'll get back up and ugh
Imma still be humble
When I scream fuck you
'cause I'm stronger than I was

A beautiful face (beautiful face)
Is all that you have
'Cause on the inside you're
Ugly and mad
But you're all that I love (that I love)
I grasp
You can't leave
Please stay here with me (here with me)
Baby hold me please

And I'd beg and I'd plead
Drop to knees
And I'd cry and I'd scream
Baby please don't leave
But you left and you took
Everything I had left
And left nothing
Nothing for me

So please don't wake me
From this dream baby
We're still together in my head
And you're still in love with me
'Til I woke up to discover that that dream was dead

But you won't break me
You'll just make me
Stronger than I was
Before I met you
I bet you I'll be just
Fine without you
And if I stumble
I won't crumble
I'll get back up and ugh
Imma still be humble
When I scream fuck you
'Cause you I'm stronger than I was

You walked out
I almost died
It was almost a homicide that you caused
'Cause I was so traumatized
Felt like I was in for a long bus ride
I'd rather die than you not by my side
Can't count how many times I vomited, cried
Go to my room, turn the radio on and hide
Thought we were Bonnie and Clyde, nah
On the inside you were Jekyll and Hyde
I felt like my whole relationship with you was a lie
It was you and I, why did I think it was ride or die?
'Cause if you coulda
Took my life you woulda
It's like you put a knife
Through my chest and pushed it right through to the
Other side of my back and stuck a spike too
Shoulda put up more of a fight but I couldn't
At the time no one could hurt me like you coulda
Take you back now? What's the likelihood of that?
Bite me bitch, chew on a nineteen footer
'Cause this morning I finally stood up
Held my chin up, finally showed a sign of life in me for the
First time since you left
And left me with nothing but shattered dreams
And a life we coulda had and we could've been
But I'm breaking out of this slump I'm in
Pulling myself out of the dumps once again
I'm gettin' up once and for all, fuck this shit
Imma be late for the pity party but you're never gonna beat me to the fuckin' punch again
Took it on the chin like a champ so don't lump me in with the chumpians
I'm done being your punching bag

It was November 31st today
Would've been our anniversary, 2 years but you left on the first of May
I wrote it on the calendar
Was gonna call but couldn't think of the words to say
It came to me just now
So I put 'em in a verse to lay

And I thank you
'Cause you made me
A better person than I was
But I hate you
'Cause you drained me
I gave you all, you gave me none
But if you blame me, you're crazy
And after all is said and done
I'm still angry
Yeah I may be
I may never trust someone

But you won't break me
You just made me
Stronger than I was
Before I met you
I bet you I'll be just
Fine without you
And if I stumble
I won't crumble
I'll get back up and ugh
Imma still be humble
When I scream fuck you
Cause I'm stronger than I was
