Stronger Than Ever*

[Verse 1]

What you gave me, I know you gave me

You remind me all the time

And how you hurt me and you don’t see it

Again, I am the child

[Pre-Chorus]

And though you tell me that you love me

I can’t feel it and I’m afraid to let you down

It’s all or nothing, I fear that something’s wrong

[Chorus]

I’m tired of walking on eggshells, so terrified to fail

And in order to please you, I've abandoned myself

And though it used to hurt me when you pushed me away

I’m stronger than ever, you made me this way

[Verse 2]

How I wish you, you suffered less too

It tears us both apart

And it’s not pretty, the way you criticize me

And how it breaks my heart

[Pre-Chorus]

And though you tell me that you love me

I can’t feel it and I’m afraid to let you down

It’s all or nothing, I fear that something’s wrong

[Chorus]

I’m tired of walking on eggshells, so terrified to fail

And in order to please you, I've abandoned myself

And though it used to hurt me when you pushed me away

I’m stronger than ever, you made me this way

[Bridge]

How I wish you knew, how much I need you

I feel like running, but I can’t abandon you

You avoid my gaze, withdraw from me these days

You punish me for trying to be all that you wanted

What more can I do?

[Chorus]

I’m tired of walking on eggshells, so terrified to fail

(I don't wanna fall)

And in order to please you, I've abandoned myself

And though it used to hurt me when you pushed me away

I’m stronger than ever, you made me this way

I’m tired of walking on eggshells, so terrified to fail

And in order to please you, I've abandoned myself

(And in order to please you, I've abandoned myself)

And though it used to hurt me when you pushed me away

I’m stronger than ever, you made me this way
