You don't control me

I'll smile

I know what it takes to fool this town

I'll do it till the sun goes town

And all through the nighttime

I'll tell you what you wanna hear

You think you got the best of me

Think you've had the last laugh

Bet you think that everything good is gone

Think you left me broken down

Think that I'll come running back

Hey, you don't know me, 'cause you're dead wrong

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Stand a little taller

That doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

What doesn't kill you makes a fighter

Footsteps even lighter

Doesn't mean I'm over 'cause you're gone

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger

Just me, myself and I

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Stand a little taller

That doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

You heard that I was starting over with someone new

They told you I was moving on over you

You didn't think that I'd come back

I'd come back swinging

You tried to break me but you see

Thanks to you I got a new thing started

Thanks to you I'm not the broken hearted

Thanks to you I'm finally thinkin' 'bout me

You know in the end the day you left was just my beginning

In the end
