Eminem - Stronger Than I Was

[00:04.89] You used to say that I'd never be

[00:11.89] Nothin' without you, and I'd believe

[00:20.39] I'm shot in the lungs, I gasp, I can't breathe

[00:28.39] Just lay here with me, baby, hold me please

[00:35.64] And I'd beg and I'd plead, drop to knees

[00:38.39] And I'd cry and I'd scream, "Baby, please don't leave!"

[00:43.39] Snatch the keys from your hand, I would squeeze

[00:46.39] And you'd laugh, and you'd tease

[00:48.39] You're just fucking with me, and you must hate me

[00:52.64] Why do you date me, if you say I make you sad

[00:58.89] And you've had enough of me

[01:01.89] I smother you, I'm 'bout to jump off the edge

[01:06.64] But you won't break me

[01:08.64] You'll just make me stronger than I was

[01:14.39] Before I met you, I bet you I'll be just fine without you

[01:22.64] And if I stumble, I won't crumble

[01:26.39] I'll get back up and uhh

[01:29.89] But I'ma still be humble when I scream "Fuck you!"

[01:33.89] ‘Cause I'm stronger than I was

[01:39.39] A beautiful face is all that you have

[01:46.14] ‘Cause on the inside you're ugly and mad

[01:54.64] But you're all that I love, I grasp, you can't leave

[02:02.64] Please stay here with me, baby, hold me please

[02:10.14] And I'd beg and I'd plead, drop to knees

[02:14.89] And I'd cry and I'd scream, "Baby, please don't leave!"

[02:17.64] But you left and you took everything I had left

[02:21.64] And left nothin', nothin' for me

[02:25.39] So, please don't wake me from this dream, baby

[02:28.89] We're still together in my head

[02:33.39] And you're still in love with me

[02:35.64] 'Til I woke up to discover that that dream was dead

[02:40.89] But you won't break me

[02:43.14] You'll just make me stronger than I was

[02:48.89] Before I met you, I bet you I'll be just fine without you

[02:56.89] And if I stumble, I won't crumble

[03:00.89] I'll get back up and uhh

[03:04.39] But I'ma still be humble when I scream "Fuck you!"

[03:08.39] ‘Cause I'm stronger than I was

[03:13.64] You walked out, I almost died

[03:16.64] It was almost a homicide

[03:18.39] That you caused, ‘cause I was so traumatized

[03:20.39] Felt like I was in for a long bus ride

[03:22.14] I'd rather die than you not be by my side

[03:24.39] Can't count how many times I vomited, cried

[03:26.14] Go to my room, turn the radio on and hide

[03:28.14] Thought we were Bonnie and Clyde

[03:29.64] Nah, on the inside you were Jekyll and Hyde

[03:31.39] I felt like my whole relationship with you was a lie

[03:33.64] It was you and I, why did I think it was ride or die?

[03:36.64] ‘Cause if you coulda took my life you woulda

[03:39.14] It's like you put a knife through my chest

[03:40.89] And pushed it right through to the

[03:42.14] Other side of my back and stuck a spike too, shoulda

[03:44.39] Put up more of a fight, but I couldn't

[03:46.14] At the time, no one could hurt me like you coulda

[03:48.14] Take you back now, what's the likelihood of that?

[03:50.14] Bite me, bitch, chew on a nineteen footer!

[03:52.64] ‘Cause this morning I finally stood up

[03:54.39] Held my chin up, finally showed a sign of life in me for the

[03:57.39] First time since you left

[03:58.89] And left me with nothin' but shattered dreams

[03:59.89] And the life we coulda had and we coulda been

[04:02.14] But I'm breakin' out of this slump I'm in

[04:03.89] Pullin' myself out of the dumps once again

[04:05.89] I'm gettin' up once and for all—fuck this shit!

[04:08.89] I'ma be late for the pity party

[04:10.39] But you're never gonna beat me to the fuckin' punch again

[04:12.64] Took it on the chin like a champ

[04:14.28] So don't lump me in with them chump-ions

[04:16.04] I'm done bein' your punching bag

[04:18.02] It was the November 31st today

[04:19.77] Woulda been our anniversary

[04:21.27] Two years, but you left on the 1st of May

[04:23.77] I wrote it on a calendar, was gonna call

[04:26.02] But couldn't think of the words to say

[04:27.77] But they came to me just now—so I put 'em in a verse to lay

[04:31.77] And I thank you, ‘cause you made me

[04:36.02] A better person than I was

[04:39.52] But I hate you, ‘cause you drained me

[04:43.77] I gave you all, you gave me none

[04:47.52] But if you blame me, you're crazy

[04:51.52] And after all is said and done

[04:55.27] I'm still angry, yeah, I may be

[04:59.27] I may never trust someone

[05:03.02] But you won't break me

[05:05.02] You'll just make me stronger than I was

[05:10.65] Before I met you, I bet you I'll be just fine without you

[05:18.65] And if I stumble, I won't crumble

[05:23.16] I'll get back up and uhh

[05:26.16] But I'ma still be humble when I scream "Fuck you!"

[05:29.91] ‘Cause I'm stronger than I was
