FIGHTER
by Christina Aguilera
Well I thought I knew you
Thinking that you were true
Guess I, I couldn't trust
Called your bluff
time is up
cause I've had enough
You were there by my side
always down for the ride
but your joyride
just came down in flames
cause your deeds
sold me out in shame
After all of the stealing, your cheating
you probably think
that I hold resentment for you
but...you're wrong
Cause if it wasn't for all that
you tried to do
I wouldn't know
just how capable
I am to pull through
so I wanna say thank you
CHORUS:
Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
It makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter
Never saw it coming
all of your backstabbing
just so you could
cash in on my good thing
before I realized your game
I heard your going round
playing the victim now
but don't even begin
feeling I'm the one to blame
cause you dug your own grave
After all of the fights and the lies
guess you wanted to harm me
but that won't work any more
no more...it's over
Cause if it wasn't for
all of your torture
I wouldn't know how
to be this way now and
never back down
so I wanna say thank you
That song was and is one of my saviors..the whole Stripped album is amazing. Christina went through an emotionally abusive relationship + her father hit her mother regularly before they divorced, and that is why there are so many great songs in that album about abuse and how to get away from it and become a better person...everyone who has ever gone though a relationship like that should listen to Stripped...it's so uplifting and strong.
