[Verse 1] Hands on the desk Face in the book Chewed-up pencil Don’t dare look Shove in the locker Laughter down the hall Knuckles on my ribs Name carved on the stall [Chorus] You made me strong, stronger than the wound Every scar you gave, becomes a tattoo I swore I’d burn your world in two But I broke those chains I’m stronger than the wound Stronger than the wound, than you [Verse 2] Years like sandpaper Skin turned stone Muscle over memories Living all alone Saw your name online Tiny rented place Empty plastic bottles Torment on your face [Pre-Chorus] Thought I’d be smiling Watching you fall But all I saw was a mirror On a smaller wall [Chorus] You made me strong, stronger than the wound Every scar you gave, becomes a tattoo I swore I’d burn your world in two But I broke those chains I’m stronger than the wound Stronger than the wound, than you [Bridge] You were running from a fist at home So you handed me your hell to hold I was just a shield you broke Every cruel word, every joke I release your name I release that kid I forgive your face For what your father did (yeah) [Drum Solo] [Chorus] You made me strong, stronger than the wound Built a life that you could never ruin I won’t burn you, that would burn me too I lay down that hate I’m stronger than the wound Stronger than the wound, than you [Outro] Walk past that old school Nothing left to prove You’re a ghost behind me I’m already through (already through)
