[Verse 1]
you left,
you tried to break me down,
you tried to tear me apart,
to take every last dime,
I took the hit and held my ground,
you thought I'd fold, you'd watch me drown,
but I learned how to breathe in the wreckage,
I learned how to stand in the flame
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I feel it in my bones
Every scar, every stone
You can't keep me underground
I'm coming up, coming up now
[Chorus]
I stand strong
I stand strong
I rise from the ashes
I rise, I rise
I'm stronger than you ever imagined
Stronger than you ever imagined
[Verse 2]
You counted losses like I was gone,
left me for finished, left me for done,
but I built a name from the broken frame,
made my own fire from your shame,
Now every step is a thunder roll,
every hard-earned breath says I own my soul,
You threw the knife, I kept the steel,
I turned that hurt into something real
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I feel it in my bones
Every scar, every stone
You can't keep me underground
I'm coming up, coming up now
[Chorus]
I stand strong
I stand strong
I rise from the ashes
I rise, I rise
I'm stronger than you ever imagined
Stronger than you ever imagined
[Bridge]
Look at me now
I wear the marks like gold
You made the cracks
But I made them bold
I won't back down
I won't be erased
I found my fire
In the hardest place
[Final Chorus]
I stand strong
I stand strong
I rise from the ashes
I rise, I rise
I'm stronger than you ever imagined
Stronger than you ever imagined
I stand strong
(I stand strong)
