[Verse 1] You left me like a bruise on a peach Sweet gone soft in the heat Tomatoes on the sill went red While your goodbye sat in my teeth I cut that melon by myself And I didn’t call your name I washed the dirt off collard greens Then I let go of the blame [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, I felt it hit me low Like rain on a tin roof But I’m still standing in my bones Baby, that’s the truth [Chorus] I ain’t gonna cry I’m stronger than that (stronger than that) I’m hurt, but I rise I’m stronger than that (stronger than that) The world keeps turnin’ on With a broken heart and a song I ain’t gonna cry I’m stronger than that [Verse 2] Strawberries on the counter bright Turned to jam in the sun I was bitter like green beans Till I learned to cook for one Your ring rolled under the stove Like a coin I couldn’t spend Now I plant my hurt in little rows And let my healing begin [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, I felt it hit me low Like rain on a tin roof But I’m still standing in my bones Baby, that’s the truth [Chorus] I ain’t gonna cry I’m stronger than that (stronger than that) I’m hurt, but I rise I’m stronger than that (stronger than that) The world keeps turnin’ on With a broken heart and a song I ain’t gonna cry I’m stronger than that [Bridge] If my hands shake, let ’em shake If my chest still aches, let it ache Even a cracked-open plum can shine In the late-day light So pour me some sweet tea Let the violin sing for me I’ve been broken, yes I know But I’m not broken open for you no more [Chorus] I ain’t gonna cry I’m stronger than that (stronger than that) I’m hurt, but I rise I’m stronger than that (stronger than that) The world keeps turnin’ on With a broken heart and a song I ain’t gonna cry I’m stronger than that [Outro] Peach pit blues Still sweet, still true Peach pit blues I made it through
