What Don't Kill Me

I’m learning to love myself in spite of me
I’m slowly learning to set myself free
I’m taking a new path
Trying to make it on my own
This road is hard but some how I’ve grown
I’m learning new things along the way
And correcting my mistakes along the way
Cause

What don’t kill me will only make me stronger
What don’t hurt me will make me fight harder
You have to fight for the things you want
I will fight and never give up
Cause what don’t kill me will only make me stronger

No matter what happens in my life
I will never give up this fight
I will make it someday
But I’ll have to suffer along the way
People find their own path in time
One day I’ll find mine
Right now I’m living day to day
I’ll find my heart this way
Cause

What don’t kill me will only make me stronger
What don’t hurt me will make me fight harder
You have to fight for the things you want
I will fight and never give up
Cause what don’t kill me will only make me stronger

Yeah what don’t kill me
Will only make me Stronger
If I just give in I’ll only have to fight harder
What don’t break me down
Can turn my life around
Cause what don’t kill me
Will only make me Stronger


What don’t kill me will only make me stronger
What don’t hurt me will make me fight harder
You have to fight for the things you want
I will fight and never give up
Cause what don’t kill me will only make me stronger

I love this song...I think most people can relate to the message you are trying to get across.....It takes your hand and carries you on a journey...Great work :)

i like this very much, knowing it might be lyrics enhances it. i also like the varied use of "what don't...make me stronger" Nietsche's original German: "was mach mich nicht umbringt, mach mich starker." seems even more lyrical than the English
