Stronger Than Ever

What you gave me I know you gave me You remind me all the time And how you hurt me and you don't see it Again I am the child And though you tell me that you love me I can't feel it and I'm afraid to let you down It's all or nothing, I fear that something's wrong I'm tired of walking on eggshells so terrified to fail And in order to please you I've abandoned myself And though it used to hurt me when you push me away I'm stronger than ever, you made me this way How I wish you, you suffered less too It tears us both apart And it's not pretty the way you criticize me And how it breaks my heart And though you tell me (though you tell me) That you love me (that you love me) I can't feel it (I can't feel it) And I'm afraid to let you down It's all or nothing, (it's all or nothing) I fear that something's wrong I'm tired of walking on eggshells so terrified to fail And in order to please you I've abandoned myself And though it used to hurt me when you push me away I'm stronger than ever, you made me this way How I wish you knew, how much I need you I feel like running but I can't abandon you You avoid my gaze, withdraw from me these days You punish me for trying to be all that you wanted What more can I do? I'm tired of walking on eggshells so terrified to fail (So tired of walking on, don't want to fail) And in order to please you I've abandoned myself And though it used to hurt me when you push me away I'm stronger than ever, you made me this way I'm tired of walking on eggshells so terrified to fail And in order to please you I've abandoned myself (In order to please you, I've abandoned myself) And though it used to hurt me when you push me away I'm stronger than ever, you made me this way, oh --- Stronger Than Ever - Christina Aguilera
