Stay Strong

words have never hurt this much
in my head i'm giving up
now i know to never trust
what my heart tells me to love
I gave you my all, how is it my fault you left
you knocked me down but i'm not giving up
you tried to drown me but i'm coming up for air
oh, you can rattle the cage but the animal stays
oh, i'll stay strong
oh, i'll stay strong
stronger than the wrong you made
finding love inside the pain
i'll forgive you everything
and it's not because I'm weak
I gave you my all no it's not my fault you left
you knocked me down but i'm not giving up
you tried to drown me but i'm coming up for air
oh, you can rattle the cage but the animal stays
oh, i'll stay strong
oh, i'll stay strong

and even though i'm left alone
and you cut me deep to the bone
i'm still standing like i planned it
you won't get the best of me
i'm coming back, coming back
you knocked me down but i'm not giving up
you tried to drown me but i'm coming up for air
oh, you can rattle the cage but the animal stays
oh, i'll stay strong
oh, i'll stay strong
you knocked me down but i'm not giving up
you tried to drown me but i'm coming up for air
oh, you can rattle the cage but the animal stays
oh, i'll stay strong
oh, i'll stay strong
oh, i'll stay strong
oh, i'll stay strong
