Am F C G Am F
you used to say that i’d never be nothing without you
C G Am F C G Am
and i believe i’m striding the roads , i guess i can’t breathe
F C G Am
just lay here with me , baby , hold me please
F
and i beg and i plead , drop to knees
C G
and i cry and i’d scream , baby , please don’t leave
Am F
snatch the keys from your hand
C
i would squeeze and you’d laugh
G
and you’d tease , you’re just fxxking with me
Am
and you must hate me
F C G
why do you date me if you say i make you sick?
Am F ]
and you’ve had enough of me

i smother you , i’m ’bout to jump off the edge

C G Am
cause i’m stronger than i was

( repeat these chords for the rest of the song )

[ verse 2 ]
a beautiful face is all that you had

cause on the inside you’re ugly , man

but you’re all that i love

aggressed , you can’t leave

please stay here with me , baby , hold me please

and i’d beg and i plead , drop to knees

and i’d cry and i’d scream , baby , please don’t leave

cause you left and you took everything i had left

and left nothing , nothing for me

so please don’t wake me from this dream , baby

we’re still together in my head

and you’re still in love with me

till i woke up to discover that that dream was dead

[ hook ]
but you won’t break me
you’ll just make me stronger than i was
before i let you , i bet you i’ll be just fine without you
and if i stumble , i won’t crumble
i’ll get back up and uhhh
and i’mma still be humble when i scream fxxk you
cause i’m stronger than i was

[ verse 3 ]
you walked out , i almost died

it was almost a homicide that you caused cause i was so traumatized

felt like i was in for a long bus ride

i’d rather die than you not be by my side

can’t count how many times i vomited , cried

go to my room , turn the radio on and hide , uh

we were bonnie and clyde

no , on the inside you were jekyll and hyde i

felt like my whole relationship with you was a lie

it was you and i , why did i think it was ride or die?

cause if you could’ve took my life you would’ve

it’s like you put a knife to my chest and pushed it right through to the

other side of my pack and stuck a spike , too , should’ve

put up more of a fight , but i couldn’t at the time

no one could hurt me like you could’ve

take you back now , what’s the likelihood of that?

bite me , bitch , chewing on a nineteen footer

cause this morning i finally stood up

held my chin up , finally showed a sign of life in me for the

first time since you left me and left me with nothing but shattered dreams

and a life we could’ve had and we could’ve been

but i’m breaking out of this slump i’m in

pulling myself out of the dumps once again

i’m getting up once and for all , fxxk this shit

i’mma be late for the pity party

but you’re never gonna beat me to the fxxking punch again

took it on the chin like a champ so don’t lump me in with the chumpy ends

i’m done being your punching bag

it was the november 31st today , would’ve been our anniversary

two years , but you left on the first of may

i wrote it on the calender , was gonna call , but couldn’t think of the words to say

but it came to me just now , so i put ’em in a verse to lay

and i thank you cause you made me a better person than i was

but i hate you cause you drained me

i gave you all , you gave me none

but if you blame me , you’re crazy

and after all that’s said and done

i’m still angry , yeah , i maybe

i may never trust someone

[ hook ]
but you won’t break me
you’ll just make me stronger than i was
before i let you , i bet you i’ll be just fine without you
and if i stumble , i won’t crumble
i’ll get back up and uhhh
and i’mma still be humble when i scream fxxk you
cause i’m stronger than i was .
