Eminem - Stronger Than I Was lyrics

[Verse 1] You used to say that I'd never be nothing without you And I believe I’m shot in the lungs, I gasp, I can’t breathe Just lay here with me, baby, hold me please And I'd beg and I'd plead, drop to knees And I'd cry and I'd scream, "Baby, please don't leave!" Snatch the keys from your hand I would squeeze and you'd laugh And you'd tease, you're just f**ing with me And you must hate me Why do you date me if you say I make you sick? And you've had enough of me I smother you, I'm 'bout to jump off the edge [Hook] But you won't break me You'll just make me stronger than I was Before I met you, I'll bet you I'll be just fine without you And if I stumble, I won't crumble I'll get back up and uhhh And I'mma still be humble when I scream, "f** you!" Cause I'm stronger than I was [Verse 2] A beautiful face is all that you have Cause on the inside you're ugly, and mad But you're all that I love I grasp, you can't leave Please stay here with me, baby, hold me please And I'd beg and I'd plead, drop to knees And I'd cry and I'd scream, "Baby, please don't leave!" but you left and you took everything I had left And left nothing, nothing for me So please don't wake me from this dream, baby We're still together in my head And you're still in love with me 'Til I woke up to discover that that dream was dead [Hook] [Verse 3] You walked out, I almost died It was almost a homicide that you caused cause I was so traumatized Felt like I was in for a long bus ride I'd rather die than you not by my side Can't count how many times I vomited, cried Go to my room, turn the radio on and hide, Thought we were Bonnie and Clyde No, on the inside you were Jekyll and Hyde I Felt like my whole relationship with you was a lie It was you and I, why did I think it was ride or die? Cause if you coulda took my life you woulda It's like you put a knife to my chest and pushed it right through to the Other side of my back and stuck a spike, too, should've Put up more of a fight, but I couldn't at the time No one could hurt me like you could've Take you back now, what's the likelihood of that? Bite me, b**h, chew on a nineteen footer Cause this morning I finally stood up Held my chin up, finally showed a sign of life in me for the First time since you left me and left me with nothing but shattered dreams And the life we could've had and we could've been But I'm breaking out of this slump I'm in Pulling myself out of the dumps once again I'm getting up once and for all, f** this sh** I'mma be late for the pity party But you're never gonna beat me to the f**ing punch again Took it on the chin like a champ so don't lump me in with the chump-ions I'm done being your punching bag It was November 31st today, would've been our anniversary Two years, but you left on the first of May I wrote it on a calender, was gonna call, but couldn't think of the words to say But they came to me just now, so I put 'em in a verse to lay And I thank you (uh) cause you made me (uh) a better person than I was But I hate you (uh) cause you drained me (uh) I gave you all, you gave me none But if you blame me (uh), you're crazy (uh) And after all is said and done I'm still angry, yeah, I may be I may never trust someone [Hook]
