I once had the luck of a four-leaf clover
I once was a king with a golden crown
But you couldn't climb up without tryin' to kick me down
For the longest time I had no idea
For three long years I had no clue
But I can trace all my misery back to you
Everytime I felt like Steve Segal
you made me feel three feet small
That which doesn't k** me makes you stronger
That which doesn't k** me, man it makes you feel so good
When I'm down and hurting you only wish it would last longer
'Cause that which doesn't k** me makes you stronger
You wanted to fly but the sky was crowded
You wanted to swim but you needed a wave
You wanted to dance so you danced on my ego's grave
There's room in this world for a billion people
There's room in this house for a mom and dad
But there ain't room in your heart for no one to feel bad
'Cause when I go up, you go down
And when I go down, you look so very proud of yourself
That which doesn't k** me makes you stronger
That which doesn't k** me, Lord it makes you feel so good
When I'm down and hurting you only wish it would last longer
'Cause that which doesn't k** me makes you stronger
I think that I just figured out
you're a downer
That which doesn't k** me makes you stronger
That which doesn't k** me, man it makes you feel so good
When I'm down and hurting you only wish it would last longer
'Cause that which doesn't k** me makes you stronger
It makes you stronger
Oh yeah
