Fighter

Listen to what she says before she sings this song! It's so TRUE! Strength comes from every hardship!

Fighter - Christina Aguilera

Hmm..
After all you put me through,
you'd think I'd despise you.
But in the end, I wanna thank you.
Cuz you made me that much stronger.

Well I, thought I knew you
Thinking, that you were true
I guess I, I couldn't trust
Called your bluff
Time is up
'Cause I've had enough
You were, there by my side
Always, down for the ride
But your, joy ride just came down in flames
'Cause your greed sold me out of shame, mmhmm

After all of the stealing and cheating
You probably think that I hold resentment for you
But, uh uh, oh no, you're wrong
'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do
I wouldn't know .. just how capable
I am to pull through
So I wanna say thank you

'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
Makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter

Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

Never, saw it coming
All of .. your backstabbing
Just so .. you could cash in
On a good thing
before I realized your game
I heard,
you're going around
Playing,
the victim now
But don't .. even begin
Feeling I'm the one to blame
'Cause you dug your own grave

After all of the fights and the lies
Yes you're wanting to harm me
but that won't work anymore
No more, uh uh, it's over
'Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture
I wouldn't know how .. to be this way now,
I'll never back down
So I wanna say thank you

'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
Makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter

Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
It makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

How could this man I thought I knew
Turn out to be unjust,
So cruel?
Could only see the good in you
Pretended .. not to see the truth
You tried to hide your lies,
Disguise yourself
Through .. living in denial
But in the end you'll see
YOU-WONT-STOP-ME!!

I am a fighter
I'm a
I ain't gonna stop
There is no turning back
I've had enough

Makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
Makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter

Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

You thought i would forget
Lord I, I remember
Oh ohh, Oh ohh
Cause i remember
I remember

Makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
Makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter

Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
Thanks for making me a fighter

Love it!

This is one of my workout jams. I posted it not too long go, in the "inspirational songs" thread. Not sure how far back that is now. I need to think of some more songs, too. Got nothing at the moment... boo. Any others come to mind, Sara?

Awesome!

Thank you! Actually, I'm trying to wind down at the moment, lol, but I for sure will turn these up tomorrow, to get me going. Super excited, thank you! Edit: I had to look! Mary J seems like such a sweet lady. She's been through a lot. Hey, Britney! ! Ooh, this last one, I've never heard before. Can't wait to flex to these. Whoops, winding down...

This is a great song- it

This is a great song- it should totally be on the list of empowering songs that michele started if it isn't already. This song really gets me all riled up! Hope all is going well for your sara-smile! NP

I just read your post and love the title! LOL DUH! I'm glad you have a great therapist! I'm looking for one. Tried one out on Tuesday and it didn't go well AT ALL! I'm looking for one like yours. I need someone to be tough with me! LOL I'm glad you are doing better. I've had days when I couldn't get on the forums and read another thing because I thought my brain would explode and then I'd get more depressed. I think it's all part of the healing and another one of those MANY MANY steps we have to take to heal ourselves. This song makes me feel GREAT! My favorite is the one I posted last night. No More Drama. If you didn't see that one look it up and listen to that song. I LOVE IT!

Haha!

Sara-smile I was hoping I wasn't disappointing people that would click on my link thinking it was some Charlie Sheen insight! LOL. My therapist used him as an example of someone spinning out of control in our session, and we both sort of shook our heads (and laughed, a little). Are you talking about No More Drama by Mary J Blige?? Haha, I would be lying if I didn't say that recently that song will sort of just start in my head on the subway when thinking about him. I need to add that and Fighter to my Itunes so that I can use it for my workout jams! I hope you are doing alright too- all quiet on the Narc Frontier? Haha! I'd be interested to know how it went with the first therapist- and how things didn't click. I was tentative and worried at first with mine- a friend had recommended her as someone that was good at helping one realize why we keep people around that don't deserve to be in our lives. (My girlfriend had a bad breakup with her ex) Our sessions can be sort of funny conversations that are relaxed, and they can be very serious conversations that are tough and make me break out into tears. She needed to get tough with me this week, because it's like I keep taking the rock and banging it against my head expecting to get a different result. I don't know why I keep wallowing in HIM so much. I need to put the rock down! (This is my analogy, not hers, ha. She would have something much more eloquent to say.) Hugs, NP
