We were right, Til we weren’t, Built a home and watched it burn. Verse 1 continued (Erin) I didn’t wanna leave you, I didn’t wanna lie, Started to cry but then remembered I... Chorus 1 (Jina): I can buy myself flowers, Write my name in the sand, Talk to myself for hours, Say things you don’t understand. Chorus 1 (Judy) [simultaneously] I can love me better I can love me better, yeah. I can love me better I can love me better, yeah. I can love me better I can love me better, yeah. I can love me better I can love me better, yeah. Chorus 1 continued (Erin) I can take myself dancing, And I can hold my own hand. Yeah I can love me better than you can. Verse 2 (Grace) Paint my nails cherry red, Match the roses that you left. No remorse, no regret, I forgive every word you said. Verse 2 continued (Megan) You think you got the best of me, You think you had the last laugh, I betcha think that everything good is gone. Think you left me broken down, Think that I’d come running back. You don’t know me, You’re dead wrong. Verse 2 continued (Court) [simultaneously] Ooh I didn’t wanna leave babe, I didn’t wanna fight, Started to cry but then remembered I... Chorus 2 (Antonia) What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, Stand a little taller, Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone. What doesn’t kill you makes a fighter, Footsteps even lighter, Doesn’t mean I’m over cause you’re gone. Chorus 2 (Court) [simultaneously] I can buy myself flowers, Write my name in the sand, Talk to myself for hours, Say things things you don’t understand. Chorus 2 continued (Evie) What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, stronger, Just me myself and I. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, ooh. Chorus 2 continued (Thaejus) [simultaneously] I can take myself dancing, And I can hold my own hand. Yeah I can love me better than you can. I love me better I love me better, babe. I love me better I love me better. I love me better I love me better, babe. I love me better I love me better. Bridge (Livvy) What’s wrong with being, What’s wrong with being, What’s wrong with being confident. Bridge continued (Anson) I can buy myself flowers, Write my name in the sand, Talk to myself for hours, Say things things you don’t understand. I can take myself dancing, Yeah I can hold my own hand. Yeah I can love me better than you can. I love me better I love me better, babe. I love me better I love me better, baby. I love me better I love me better, babe. I love me better I love me better, baby. Outro (Clare) I didn’t wanna leave you, I didn’t wanna lie, Started to cry but then remembered I...
