This hell raisin' angel's had a fair share of heartache Tears falling tangled into looks that will tell But you'll never know just how it feels 'Til you fall apart and your heart don't wanna heal What doesn't kill me makes me stronger What doesn't kill me makes me stronger I'll hold on a little longer What doesn't kill me makes me stronger Sweet baby sister held the world upon her shoulders She had a spirit like a twister this life could not hold her Always wonder round so fast down a track headin' nowhere She was cool until the train crashed and she died trying to get there What doesn't kill me makes me stronger What doesn't kill me makes me stronger I'll hold on a little longer What doesn't kill me makes me stronger I wanna crawl in that dark hole and curl up beside her Wanna cradle her sweet soul and never let go Now there's rest for the weary and there's peace in the light There's grace in forgiveness for angels in flight What doesn't kill me makes me stronger What doesn't kill me makes me stronger I'll hold on a little longer What doesn't kill me makes me stronger What doesn't kill you makes me stronger What doesn't kill you makes me stronger Just hold on a little longer What doesn't kill you makes me stronger
