Eminem - Stronger Than I Was

[Verse 1]
You used to say that I'd never be
Nothing without you and I'd 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 fucking 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 bet you I'll be just fine without you
And if I stumble, I won't crumble, I'll get back up and uhh
But I'mma still be humble when I scream "fuck 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 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 be 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, nah, 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 through my chest and pushed it right through to the
Other side of my back and stuck a spike too, shoulda
Put up more of a fight, but I couldn't, at the time, no one could hurt me like you coulda
Take you back now, what's the likelihood of that? Bite me bitch, chew on a nineteen footer
But 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 coulda
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, fuck this shit
I'ma be late for the pity party, but you're never gonna beat me to the fucking 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

[Bridge]
It was the November 31st today
Would've been our anniversary, two years but you left on the 1st of May
I wrote it on a calendar, 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 cause you made me a better person than I was
But I hate you cause you drained me, I gave you all, you gave me none
But if you blame me, you're crazy and after all is said and done
I'm still angry, yeah, I may be, I may never trust someone
