A Little Bit Stronger
Rising from Heartbreak: A Little Bit Stronger by Homegrown Peaches
Lyrics
Woke up late today, and I still feel the sting of the pain
Reflecting on the lingering pain after waking up late.
But I brushed my teeth anyway
Performing routine tasks despite emotional pain.
got dressed through the mess and put a smile on my face
Getting dressed and putting on a brave face amidst chaos.
I got a little bit stronger
Noticing personal growth, feeling stronger.
Riding in the car to work, and I'm trying to ignore the hurt
Attempting to distract from pain during the commute.
So I turned on the radio, Stupid song made me think of you
A song triggers thoughts about the past relationship.
I listened to it for minute, but then I changed it
Choosing to change the radio station to avoid emotional distress.
I'm getting a little bit stronger, just a little bit stronger
Continuing to get emotionally stronger.
And I'm done hoping that we can work it out
No longer hoping for reconciliation in the relationship.
I'm done with how it feels, spinning my wheels
Ending the cycle of emotional pain and stagnation.
Letting you drag my heart around
Acknowledging the negative impact of the past relationship.
And oh
Expression of emotional pain and realization.
I'm done thinking, that you could ever change
Concluding that the person won't change.
I know my heart will never be the same
Acknowledging that the heart has been permanently affected.
But I'm telling myself I'll be okay
Self-affirmation to cope with the emotional aftermath.
Even on my weakest days, I get a little bit stronger
Finding strength even on vulnerable days.
Doesn't happen over night, but you turn around and a months gone by
Highlighting the gradual nature of emotional healing.
And you realize you haven't cried
Realizing a significant time has passed without tears.
I'm not giving you a hour or a second or another minute longer
Setting a firm boundary on the time spent in emotional distress.
I'm busy getting stronger
Focusing on personal growth and strength.
And I'm done hoping that we can work it out
Reiterating the decision to move on from the relationship.
I'm done with how it feels, spinning my wheels
Rejecting the painful feelings associated with the past.
Letting you drag my heart around
Refusing to be emotionally manipulated any longer.
And oh
Repeating the emotional struggle and realization.
I'm done thinking, that you could ever change
Underlining the certainty that the person won't change.
I know my heart will never be the same
Acknowledging the permanent impact on the heart.
But I'm telling myself I'll be okay
Positive self-talk to cope with the emotional aftermath.
Even on my weakest days, I get a little bit stronger
Finding strength even on the most challenging days.
Getting along without you baby
Emphasizing independence and self-reliance.
I'm better off without you baby
Affirming that life is better without the person.
How does it feel with out me baby?
Prompting the person to reflect on life without the speaker.
I'm getting stronger without you baby
Asserting personal growth and strength without the person.
And I'm done hoping that we can work it out
Reiterating the decision to move on from the relationship.
I'm done with how it feels, spinning my wheels
Rejecting the painful feelings associated with the past.
Letting you drag my heart around
Refusing to be emotionally manipulated any longer.
And oh
Repeating the emotional struggle and realization.
I'm done thinking, that you could ever change
Underlining the certainty that the person won't change.
I know my heart will never be the same
Acknowledging the permanent impact on the heart.
But I'm telling myself I'll be okay
Positive self-talk to cope with the emotional aftermath.
Even on my weakest days, I get a little bit stronger
Finding strength even on the most challenging days.
A little bit, a little bit, a little bit stronger
Continued affirmation of growing emotional strength.
