[Verse 1]
you left,
you tried to break me down,
you tried to tear me apart,
to take every last dime,
you thought I'd fold
under your shadow,
thought I'd stay broken
where you left me low
[Pre-Chorus]
but I found my feet
in the wreckage
I found my name
in the flame
[Chorus]
I stand strong
I rise from the ashes
I stand strong
you can't have what I have
I’m stronger
than you ever imagined
I stand strong
(I stand strong)
[Verse 2]
you took your shot
with a smile and a lie,
left dust on the floor
and steel in my eyes
now every scar
is a road I can ride,
every last tear
turned into pride
[Pre-Chorus]
but I found my feet
in the wreckage
I found my name
in the flame
[Chorus]
I stand strong
I rise from the ashes
I stand strong
you can't have what I have
I’m stronger
than you ever imagined
I stand strong
(I stand strong)
[Bridge]
Go on, say I lost
Go on, count me out
I learned how to bleed
and still scream loud
you built your little house
out of my pain
now watch me walk away
and take my name
[Chorus]
I stand strong
I rise from the ashes
I stand strong
you can't have what I have
I’m stronger
than you ever imagined
I stand strong
(I stand strong)
