Stronger than love

First you love me and I let you in

Made me feel like I was born again

You empowered me, you made me strong

Built me up and I could do no wrong

 

I let down my guard, I fell into your arms

Forgot who I was, I didn't hear the alarms

Now I'm down on my knees, alone in the dark

I was blind to your game, you fired a shot in my heart

 

Took me to heaven, let me fall down

Now that it's over I'm gonna carry on

Lifted me up and watched me stumble

After the heartache I'm gonna carry on

 

You used to say that I'd never be nothing without you

And I believe

I’m shot in the lungs, I gasp, I can’t breathe

Just lay 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 fucking with me

And you must hate me

Why do you date me if you say I make you sick?

And you've had enough of me

I smother you, I'm 'bout to jump off the edge

 

I could get caught up in bitterness

But I'm not dwelling on this crazy mess

I found freedom in the ugly truth

I deserve the best and it's not you

 

You've broken my heart, but you can't break me down

Not falling apart, once was lost now I'm found

Picked up my crown, put it back on my head

I can forgive, but I will never forget

 

Took me to heaven, let me fall down

Now that it's over I'm gonna carry on

Lifted me up and watched me stumble

After the heartache I'm gonna carry on

 

A beautiful face is all that you have

Cause on the inside you're ugly, and mad

But you're all that I love

I grasp, you can't leave

Please stay 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

 

Living for love

I'm living for love

I'm not giving up

I'm gonna carry on

Living for love

I'm living for love

Not gonna stop

Cuz love's gonna lift me up

 

(Love, lift me up)

Love's gonna lift me up

(Love, lift me up)

Love's gonna lift me up

 

Cuz love's gonna lift me up

Up, up, up, up

Lord lift me up, up, up, up

Love's gonna lift me up

Up, up, up, up

Lord lift me up, up, up, up

Love's gonna lift me up

Lord lift me up, up, up, up

 

Living for love

Living for love

Not giving up

I'm gonna carry on

Living for love

Living for love

Not gonna stop

Cuz love's gonna lift me up

 

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

No, 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 to my chest and pushed it right through to the

Other side of my back and stuck a spike, too, should've

Put up more of a fight, but I couldn't at the time

No one could hurt me like you could've

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 me and left me with nothing but shattered dreams

And the life we could've 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 getting up once and for all, fuck this shit

I'mma be late for the pity party

But you're never gonna beat me to the fucking punch again

Took it on the chin like a champ so don't lump me in with the chump-ions

I'm done being your punching bag

 

It was November 31st today, would've been our anniversary

Two years, but you left on the first of May

I wrote it on a calender, was gonna call, but couldn't think of the words to say

But they came to me just now, so I put 'em in a verse to lay

And I thank you (uh) cause you made me (uh) a better person than I was

But I hate you (uh) cause you drained me (uh)

I gave you all, you gave me none

But if you blame me (uh), you're crazy (uh)

And after all is said and done

I'm still angry, yeah, I may be

I may never trust someone
