That Which Doesn't Kill Me

I once had the luck of a four-leaf clover

I once was a king with a golden crown

But you couldn't climb up without tryin' to kick me down

For the longest time I had no idea

For three long years I had no clue

But I can trace all my misery back to you

 

Everytime I felt like Steve Segal

You made me feel three feet small

 

That which doesn't kill me makes you stronger

That which doesn't kill me, man it makes you feel so good

When I'm down and hurting you only wish it would last longer

'Cause that which doesn't kill me makes you stronger

 

You wanted to fly but the sky was crowded

You wanted to swim but you needed a wave

You wanted to dance so you danced on my ego's grave

There's room in this world for a billion people

There's room in this house for a mom and dad

But there ain't room in your heart for no one to feel bad

 

'Cause when I go up, you go down

And when I go down, you look so very proud of yourself

 

That which doesn't kill me makes you stronger

That which doesn't kill me, Lord it makes you feel so good

When I'm down and hurting you only wish it would last longer

'Cause that which doesn't kill me makes you stronger

 

I think that I just figured out

You're a downer

 

That which doesn't kill me makes you stronger

That which doesn't kill me, man it makes you feel so good

When I'm down and hurting you only wish it would last longer

'Cause that which doesn't kill me makes you stronger

It makes you stronger

Oh yeah
