Stronger Woman

(album: Perfectly Clear - 2008)

I guess you could say I'm one of those girls
That's always been with one of those guys
You know the type
Like right now, he sleeps while I write

But it's better than crying
I'm worn out from trying
From loving a man who always makes it clear
I'm not welcome here
Just when he's hungry or frisky
Or needs something cleaned
And you know what I mean

But not tonight
'Cause come the morning light, oh
I'm gonna love myself more than anyone else
Believe in me, even if someone can't see
A stronger woman in me

I'm gonna be my own best friend
Stick with me till the end
Won't lose myself again, never, no
'Cause there's a stronger woman
A stronger woman in me

Light bulbs buzz
I get up
Head to my drawer
Wish there was more
I could say
Another fairytale fades to gray
I've lived on hope
Like a child
Walking that mile
Faking that smile
All the while
Wishing my heart had wings

Well from now on I'm gonna be
The kind of woman I'd want my daughter to be, oh

I'm gonna love myself more than anyone else
Believe in me, even if someone can't see
A stronger woman in me
I'm gonna be my own best friend
Stick with me till the end
Won't lose myself again, never, no
'Cause there's a stronger woman
A stronger woman

This is me, packing up my bags
And this is me, headed for the door
And this is me, the best you ever had

I'm gonna love myself
More than anyone else
Believe in me even if someone can't see
The stronger woman in me
I'm gonna be my own best friend
Stick with me till the end
Won't lose myself again, no, no
'Cause there's a stronger woman
A stronger woman
There's a stronger woman
A stronger woman in me
A stronger woman in me
