[Verse 1: Sean Bass]

People tell me to be cautious

People tell me not to lose my self-control

People tell me to be flawless

People tell me not to let myself evolve

[Pre-Chorus: Sean Bass]

And I think I don't really get it

I think it's all just a peculiar game

And soon I'll wake up and I'll forget it

And everyone will know me by a different name

[Chorus: Sean Bass & Alex Newell, Alex Newell]

I wanted to be stronger (Stronger)

I wanted to be everything for you

If I could be stronger, would you believe

That I could love you like you want me to?

[Post-Chorus: Alex Newell]

Gotta be stronger for you, baby

Love you like you want me to

Gotta be stronger for you, baby

Love you like you want me to

[Verse 2: Sean Bass]

I held my breath every time

I tried to keep myself dry

But did I ask too much (No, no, no)

If I could do it again

Would you believe what I said?

That I still want that rush

[Pre-Chorus: Sean Bass]

And I think I don't really get it

I think it's all just a peculiar game

And soon I'll wake up and I'll forget it

And everyone will know me by a different name

[Chorus: Sean Bass & Alex Newell, Alex Newell]

I wanted to be stronger (Stronger)

I wanted to be everything for you (Every little thing for you)

If I could be stronger, would you believe

That I could love you like you want me to?

[Breakdown: Sean Bass & Alex Newell]

Gotta be stronger for you, baby

I wanna be strong for you (I wanna be strong for you)

Love you like you want me to, you like you want me to

I wanna be strong for you

Love you like you want me to

[Bridge: Alex Newell]

I wanna be strong for you

And I can (I can), yes, I can (Yes, I can)

If only you can promise that you will try too

I'll be there, I'll be there

I wanna be strong for you (Woo, yeah)

If only you can promise that you will try too

I'll be there (Yeah), I'll be there (Oh)

[Chorus: Sean Bass & Alex Newell, Alex Newell]

I wanted to be stronger (Stronger)

I wanted to be everything for you (Every little thing for you)

If I could be stronger, would you believe

That I could love you like you want me to?

I wanted to be stronger (Yeah, ooh)

I wanted to be everything for you (Every little thing)

If I could be stronger, would you believe

That I could love you like you want me to? (Woo, uh)

[Post-Chorus: Alex Newell]

Love you like you want me to (And love me like you want me to)

Love you like you want me to

Love you like you want me to (And love me like you want me to)

Love you like you want me to
