Stronger Version
Tom MacDonald
A couple hundred thousand cigarette butts (cigarette butts)
A million beers or maybe more, Woah
A couple dozen times I messed things up (messed things up)
But I'm movin' on from before, Oh-oh
People don't like me for things I have forgot
But I can't pretend to be someone I'm not
I've been sober, I've been wasted
I've spent most of my life in between
I've been sorry, been mistaken
I've been nothing, but how God made me
And I ain't gonna hate myself no more
Baby I ain't perfect, but I'm putting that work in
I ain't gonna brake down like before
And baby I'm hurting but I'm a stronger version
A couple hundred thousand pills swallowed (pills swallowed)
A million tears or maybe more, Woah
A couple dozen pretty hearts I broke (hearts I broke)
That isn't me anymore, Oh-Oh
People don't like me for things I have forgot
But I can't pretend to be someone I'm not
I've been sober, I've been wasted
I've spent most of my life in between
I've been sorry, been mistaken
I've been nothing, but how God made me
And I ain't gonna hate myself no more
Baby I ain't perfect, but I'm putting that work in
I ain't gonna brake down like before
And baby I'm hurting but I'm a stronger version (3, 2, 1)
Lord, I hit the ditch
Walk right off the edge
I got knock down and got up again
Oh, I've tried to live more like my friends
I can't be nothing but just what I am
And I've been sober, I've been wasted
I spent most of my life in between
I've been sorry, been mistaken
I can't be nothing, but how God made me (3, 2, 1)
And I ain't gonna hate myself no more
Baby I ain't perfect, but I'm putting that work in
I ain't gonna brake down like before
And baby I'm hurting but I'm a stronger version
