Even on my weakest days

Whenever I listen to music, I hardly ever listen to the words.  It's weird, I know.  I've done it for as long as I can remember, and I just listen to the instruments being played and it's worked great for me.  Really, it has... until I'm the only one in the car who can't sing along but I do know that in 5 seconds the bass guitar is going to come in and go "strum" and it's going to sounds so awesome.  Yeah, I'm the weird one..
But.. sometimes there is a song where for some reason I know every word to.  There aren't many of these, but now that I think about it the ones that I do know word for word are ones that I kind of... relate to... or something.

Well...

Tonight I finally watched Country Strong and Oh. My. Gosh.  It is really just such a great movie!  But there's this one song that I've been listening to for months now (okay fine, I have been listening to the entire soundtrack for months now...) and when it came on, I knew every word. 

Read these words and see if they make YOU cry too.  Dang it.
It's just so true.  And truth is good.

Woke up late today and I still feel the sting of the pain
But I brushed my teeth anyway
I got dressed through the mess and put a smile on my face
I got a little bit stronger

Riding in the car to work and I'm trying to ignore the hurt
So I turned on the radio, stupid song made me think of you
I listened to it for minute but I changed it
I'm getting a little bit stronger, just a little bit stronger

And I'm done hoping that we could work it out
I'm done with how it feels, spinning my wheels
Letting you drag my heart around
And, oh, I'm done thinking that you could ever change

I know my heart will never be the same
But I'm telling myself I'll be okay
Even on my weakest days
I get a little bit stronger

Doesn't happen overnight but you turn around
And a month's gone by and you realize you haven't cried
I'm not giving you a hour or a second or another minute longer
I'm busy getting stronger

And I'm done hoping that we can work it out
I'm done with how it feels, spinning my wheels
Letting you drag my heart around
And, oh, I'm done thinking, that you could ever change

I know my heart will never be the same
But I'm telling myself I'll be okay
Even on my weakest days, I get a little bit stronger
I get a little bit stronger

Getting along without you, baby
I'm better off without you, baby
How does it feel without me, baby?
I'm getting stronger without you, baby

And I'm done hoping we could work it out
I'm done with how it feels, spinning my wheels
Letting you drag my heart around
And, oh, I'm done thinking that you could ever change

I know my heart will never be the same
But I'm telling myself I'll be okay
Even on my weakest days
I get a little bit stronger

I get a little bit stronger
Just a little bit stronger
A little bit, a little bit, a little bit stronger
I get a little bit stronger

  1. Yeah, don't worry. I cry every time I hear that song too. Except...sometimes I don't and that's probably because I'm just, uh, getting a little bit stronger? :)
