Stronger Than Your Lies

[Verse 1]
You said I was your only
While you were looking past my face
Guess I was busy holdin' on
You were halfway out the place
All those nights I blamed my mirror
For the way you turned away
But every bar room eye that caught me
Was tryin' to make me stay
[Chorus]
You didn’t know what you had
Now you’re just a story I survived
Yeah, I broke when it all went bad
But I came out stronger than your lies
You can keep your sorry and your sad
I’m dancin’ in the wreckage of goodbyes
You didn’t know what you had
And I’m stronger
Stronger than your lies (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
I remember all the glances
From the ones you called my friends
How they said I deserved better
In the quiet, in the end
I was busy patchin' pieces
You were busy keepin' score
Now I walk in, head up, laughing
They don’t ask about you anymore
[Chorus]
You didn’t know what you had
Now you’re just a story I survived
Yeah, I broke when it all went bad
But I came out stronger than your lies
You can keep your sorry and your sad
I’m dancin’ in the wreckage of goodbyes
You didn’t know what you had
And I’m stronger
Stronger than your lies
[Bridge]
I fell hard, but I fell forward
Hit the ground and found my name
You lost me when you chose your coward
I found me when I walked away (hey!)
[Chorus]
You didn’t know what you had
Now you’re just a story I survived
Yeah, I broke when it all went bad
But I came out stronger than your lies
You can keep your sorry and your sad
I’m dancin’ in the wreckage of goodbyes
You didn’t know what you had
And I’m stronger
Stronger than your lies
Yeah, I’m stronger
Stronger than your lies

country, Modern country ballad with female vocals; starts intimate with fingerpicked acoustic and soft pedal steel swells, then builds into an anthemic, mid-tempo chorus with steady kick, warm bass, and stacked harmonies on the hook. Second verse adds mandolin and subtle organ pads, bridge drops back to vocal and guitar before a final, soaring chorus with ad-lib runs and a fiddle countermelody.
