Stronger Alone

Story Behind The Song

Written about a breakup and being as honest as possible about what went wrong. Both were to blame, both were at fault.

Song Description

It's a song about a breakup and the reasons why the singer didn't think it was working out. The strength of each of them will be more as they are weak together. The song was conceived after a conversation Matt had with a coworker at Threshold Enterprises. The story told to Matt had to do with geese, and when geese fly together, they are stronger together, however, if a goose cannot contribute their share, it worsens the strength of the gaggle.

Lyrics

From what I know about you
And what I've seen you do
I've concluded you don't need me
It's best that we fall through
The cracks in the foundation
We've built on sticks and stones
I'll fly off on my own
Cause I know you'll be stronger alone

You'll have your dreams again
You'll have some fun again
Nothing will be in your way

I've only been causing you heartache
I've only been twisting what you say

So, don't try to talk me out of this
Each other we have outgrown
We both will be stronger alone
We both will be stronger alone

From what I know about me
And who I know myself to be
I've concluded I don't need you
It best if I seep through
The cracks in the foundation
We've built on sticks and stones
You can sit here on your own
Cause I know I'll be stronger alone

I'll have my dreams again
I'll have some fun again
No one will stand in my way

You've only been causing me heartache
You've only been twisting what I say

So, don't try to talk me out of this
Each other we have outgrown
We both will be stronger alone
We both will be stronger alone

We'll have our dreams again
We'll have some fun again
No one will be in our way
We've only been causing the heartache
We've only been twisting what we say

So, don't try to talk me out of this
Each other we have outgrown
We both will be stronger alone
We both will be stronger alone
We both will be stronger alone
We both will be stronger alone
