A moment like this Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this Some people search forever for that one special kiss Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this Grew up in a small town And when the rain would fall down I'd just stare out my window I could break away I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly I'll do what it takes 'til I touch the sky And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway Miss independent Miss self-sufficient Miss keep your distance (baby, keep your distance) (Ah, oh, oh well) Here's the thing, we started out friends It was cool, but it was all pretend Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah), since you been gone (been gone, been gone) And all you'd ever hear me say Is how I pictured me with you (me with you) That's all you'd ever hear me say But since you been gone (since you been gone) I can breathe for the first time I'm so moving on, yeah, yeah Thanks to you, now I get, I get what I want Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt Because of you I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me Because of you, I am afraid Piece by piece, he collected me Up off the ground, where you abandoned things, yeah Piece by piece, he restored my faith That a man can be kind and a father could stay You think you got the best of me Think you've had the last laugh Bet you think that everything good is gone (good is gone) Think you left me broken down (broken down) Think that I'll come running back (oh) Baby, you don't know me, 'cause you're dead wrong What doesn't kill you makes you stronger Stand a little taller Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone What doesn't kill you makes a fighter Footsteps even lighter Doesn't mean I'm over 'cause you're gone What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger Just me, myself, and I What doesn't kill you makes you stronger Stand a little taller Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone When I'm alone
