Stronger Than The Storm

(Verse 1)
I found the truth in the quiet,
In the way you wouldn’t meet my eyes.
You said you “needed something different,”
But all I heard were broken lies.
Papers on the table,
You already packed your stuff.
I stood there holding the pieces,
Knowing I wasn’t enough.

(Pre-Chorus)
Yeah, you walked out without lookin’ back,
But I ain’t fallin’ through the cracks.

(Chorus)
’Cause I’m stronger than the storm you made,
I’m standin’ tall though the sky turned gray.
You can break my heart but not my name—
These kids still need their dad each day.
So go chase whatever life you think you want,
But I’ll stay here keepin’ our world strong.
I may be torn, but I’ll move on…
Yeah, I’m stronger than the storm.

(Verse 2)
There’s a picture in the hallway
Of us younger, full of fire and heat.
Funny how forever
Can turn into a flat-lined heartbeat.
But those little footsteps in the morning,
Callin’ “Daddy, are you awake?”
Remind me that the love I give
Ain’t something you can take.

(Pre-Chorus)
So take your freedom, take your new last name—
But I’ll be here, unchanged.

(Chorus)
’Cause I’m stronger than the storm you made,
I’m standin’ tall though the sky turned gray.
You can break my heart but not my name—
These kids still need their dad each day.
So go chase whatever life you think you want,
But I’ll stay here keepin’ our world strong.
I may be torn, but I’ll move on…
Yeah, I’m stronger than the storm.

(Bridge)
One day they’ll grow and understand
Why I never let go of their hands.
Why I held the line when life got rough—
’Cause bein’ their dad will always be enough.

(Final Chorus)
Yeah, I’m stronger than the storm you made,
A little bruised but I’ll be okay.
You can walk away but I’ll still stay—
In their corner every single day.
Go chase whatever life you think you need,
But I’ll be here plantin’ roots so deep.
The rain can fall, the wind can scream on,
But I’m stronger—
Stronger than the storm.
