Etheridge, Melissa - Stronger Than Me Lyrics






So you closed your eyes in the morning
You said you want to start smoking again
You said you had that dream last night
Of the stranger in your room
You said you want to start making new friends
Well I'd found some peace
You want release
You must be stronger than me

I don't know how you can take it
Invest your heart and then you break it
I don't know how you can set it free
You must be stronger than me
Set it up but it's not perfect
Tear it down cause it's not worth it
If someone else can light your mystery
They must be stronger than me

So I closed my eyes at midnight
Cinderella must go home
But the map was burned
And I've taken a wrong turn
And I found myself alone
I'm tired of this war
I don't want to fight no more
You must be stronger than me

So it's too late then
You could have told me when
Living died and passion lied
Now you're a refugee
Well if it's what you need
Run away from the truth you see
You must be stronger than

    #lair#karmaMF#glad she got the prize and not me😂😂😂😂😂

  4. J.... T....

    I don't know how anyone can deny the passion and intensity and incredible talent! 23 people have to remove their heads from their butts before they can hear or see.

  5. F.... ....

    Great song from Melissa. Nothing with which to compare it, far as I can see.

    F.... ....

    could you imagine her and joplin? would be unreal 2 rockers

  8. C.... G....

    looking forward to see you at the Apollo Theatre in October!

  9. C.... D....

    Forever...my song of Strength...

  10. A.... M....

    as it's already been said, this song IS so very raw, she pours her heart, and the pain that's in it wide open for all to see. in my mind;a very brave thing to do. i've been a fan forever, and i loved (still do) the c.d. breakdown, but damn, is she hurting. i love the comment made by jean dawson, something to the effect of,"and it makes me wanna reach out and slap the hell out of the bitch, who caused the pain" i think we all know who that was. way back "in the day" i truly believed she and julie would be together forever...clearly, so did melissa.

    A.... M....

    You totally nailed the meaning of her lady, tnx 4 that!

    A.... M....

    Breakups are painful and sad for anyone, but I think you have to trust that sometimes what you want is not what you need. Melissa is in a much better place, with someone who loves her. The Universe gives you what you need if you open your arms to it.

  11. R.... B....

    to see that much hurt in someone makes you want to reach out and hold them to make it better.. also makes you wanna reach out and slap the hell outta the bitch that caused it!

    @muitalma
    Brazil has great music fans. Musicians who go there are warmly received.
    Melissa's Live and Alone DVD is still available,
    it may be a way to cope until you get to a live concert.
    I hope ME manages to go to Brazil one day.
    I hope you live a long and happy life.
    (Cassia Eller and Melissa fan from Australia).

    Come to Brasil (In Portuguese)!

    I don't wanna die before liste to you in live!

    Eh, absolutely.
    Great voice and phrasing. The lyrics are what really keeps me, sort of map out some of own experiences.
    I really like these videos where she is being the professional musician, shows another of her many great sides.

  27. s.... ....

    I'm missing something here. did Melissa lose someone close or get told she has a disease? Serious, i don't know what these comments are about. ?
