i woke up late today

&& i still feel the sting of the pain.

but i brushed my teeth anyway

i got dressed through the mess and put a smile on my face.

i got a little bit stronger.

i'm riding in the car to work,

&& i'm trying to ignore the hurt.

so i turned on the radio,

stupid song made me think of you.

i listened to it for a minute,

but then i changed it,

i'm getting a little bit stronger.

&& i'm done hoping that we could work it out.

i'm done with how it feels, spinning my wheels,

letting you drag my heart around.

i'm done thinking that you could ever change...

i know my heart will never be the same

but i'm telling myself i'll be okay.

even on my weakest days

i get a little bit stronger.

it doesn't happen overnight,

but you turn around & a month's gone by

&& you realize you haven't cried

i'm not giving you an hour or a second or another minute longer

i'm busy getting stronger.
