“Stronger” by Kelly Clarkson
You know the bed feels _____
Sleeping here alone
You know I dream in color
And do the things I want
You think you've got the_____ of me
Think you've had 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 _____
Stand a little _____
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes you fighter
Footsteps even _____
Doesn't mean I'm over 'cause you're gone
Bridge:
What doesn't kill you makes you _____,
_____
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you _____
Stand a little _____
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
You heard that I was starting over with
someone new
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 _____
Stand a little _____
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes you fighter
Footsteps even _____
Doesn't mean I'm over 'cause you're gone
Bridge:
What doesn't kill you makes you _____,
stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you _____
Stand a little _____
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

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 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
You heard that I was starting over with
someone new
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
