0:08You know the bed feels warmer
0:12Sleeping here alone
0:16You know I dream in color
0:20And do the things I want
0:25You think you got the best of me
0:26Think you've had the last laugh
0:29Bet you think that everything good is gone
0:33Think you left me broken down
0:35Think that I'd come running back
0:37Baby you don't know me, 'cause you're dead wrong
0:41What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
0:44Stand a little taller
0:46Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
0:50What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
0:52Footsteps even lighter
0:54Doesn't mean I'm over 'cause you're gone

1:16You heard that I was starting over with someone new
1:24They told you I was moving on, over you
1:32You didn't think that I'd come back
1:35I'd come back swinging
1:37You try to break me, but you see
