My song: Stronger by Kelly Clarkson
You know the bed feels warmer
Sleeping here alone
You know I dream in color
And do the things I want
You think you've got the best of me
Think you've had enough the last laugh
Bet you think that everything good is gone
Think you left me broken down
Think that I'd come running back
Baby, you don't know me, 'cause you're dead wrong
Chorus:
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes you fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over 'cause you're gone
Bridge:
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/k/kelly_clarkson/stronger.html ]
You heard that I was starting over with someone new
{ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/k/kelly-clarkson-lyrics/stronger-lyrics.html }
They told you I was moving on, over you
You didn't think that I'd come back
I'd come back swinging
You tried to break me, but you see
Chorus:
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes you fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over 'cause you're gone
Bridge:
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
Thanks to you I got a new thing started
Thanks to you I'm not the broken-hearted
Thanks to you I'm finally thinking 'bout me
You know in the end the day you left is just my beginning
In the end
[Repeat chorus][Repeat bridge x2]
I'm not alone
My review:
I love love love this song. Don't even know how many times I've listened to it this past month. It's really fun to dance to and it has a great message that we often forget. There is a beauty is a strong woman. Not a harsh one, not a tough one, a strong one. Strength means knowing when to fight for someone you love and when to let go of the past. When people leave us, we are changed, but we are stronger for it. Because, like the proverb says, if you love someone let them go, if they come back then they are yours; if they don't then they were never yours to begin with. If they don't love you enough to come back, then you are better without them. You are stronger for it. That's what I get from this song.
I also love how the music video shows all these people dancing and it makes me want to dance and just wriggle out of my skin into this awesomeness. The beat and rhythm plus Kelly Clarkson's voice equals awesome. Time to get up and dance to it.
PEACE OUT and HAVE A GOOD DAY, Rachel:)
