Stronger than that

HEY… (HEY…)

HEY… (HEY…)

Verse

You spoke like you knew who I was inside

Like your words were the truth, not a place to hide

You smiled while you cut me down to size

Called it “honest” when it was just disguised

You don’t see the nights that I held my breath

Trying to survive what you called “jest”

You threw your pain like it was my fault

But I learned real strength doesn’t need assault

Pre-Chorus

Every time you tried to make me feel small

You showed me how weak you really are

I didn’t break — I learned to stand

While you were screaming, I became calm

HEY… (HEY…)

Chorus

If I fall, I rise without a sound

If I bleed, I don’t bleed out

I don’t scream, I don’t give you that

I get stronger than that

You needed power, I needed truth

You needed fear, I needed proof

I don’t become what you throw at me

I get stronger than that

Oh—oh…

Oh—oh…

Verse 2

You fed on doubt like it kept you alive

Picked at the cracks just to feel justified

You called me weak — but here’s the truth

You only attack what reminds you of you

I carried the weight you refused to face

Turned your damage into restraint

You tried to make me disappear

But I learned how to stand right here

Pre-Chorus

You confuse being loud with being strong

But strength doesn’t need a crowd

I survived what you couldn’t stop

And that’s what hurts you now

HEY.

Chorus

If I fall, I rise without a sound

If I bleed, I don’t bleed out

I don’t scream, I don’t give you that

I get stronger than that

You needed power, I needed truth

You needed fear, I needed proof

I don’t become what you throw at me

I get stronger than that

You never wanted me broken

You wanted me beneath you

But I learned something you never did

Strength isn’t taking

Strength is surviving

STAND — UP.

STAND — TALL.

I don’t wear your name on my skin

I don’t carry your shame within

STAND — UP.

STAND — TALL.

If I fall, I rise without a sound

If I bleed, I don’t bleed out

I don’t scream, I don’t give you that

I get stronger than that

You tried to define me by your doubt

But I outgrew the space you shout from

I’m not what you tried to make of me

I’M STRONGER — THAN — THAT.

STRONGER — THAN — THAT.

WE — DON’T — BREAK.

WE — DON’T — BEND.

STRONGER — THAN — THAT.
