You know the bed feels warmer
Sleeping here alone
You know I dream in color
And do the things I want
You think you 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
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 a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone
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 try to break me, but you see
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 a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone
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 about me
You know in the end the day you left was just my beginning
In the end...
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 a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone
[2x]
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
This whole song relates to The Old Man and the Sea. First, in the beginning of the book, the old man have gone eighty-four days without catching anything, but he is still confident, just like when the novella said "Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated". Then when he has followed the fish for days and is running out of water and food, he still does not surrender. When he is trying to harpoon the fish, he almost fainted, but he kept himself awake and caught the biggest fish the people from his village had ever seen. He says to himself out loud and inside his head that his hand is bad and his back hurts, but that he must carry on and be strong because he is sure the marlin is tiring and can be caught soon. Also, when the sharks were attacking, he fought them off with only a club and broken tiller in a tiny skiff. All these events didn't kill him, so it made him stronger and earned him the respect of the people in the village. He is a fighter that is strong on the inside and outside even though he is an old man.
