Mr. Know It All
Well ya think you know it all
But ya don't know a thing at all
Ain't it, ain't it something y'all
When somebody tells you something 'bout you
Think that they know you more than you do
So you take it down another pill to swallow
Mr. Bring Me Down
Well ya, ya like to bring me down, don't you?
But I ain't laying down, baby, I ain't goin' down
Can't nobody tell me how it's gonna be
Nobody's gonna make a fool out of me
Baby, you should know that I lead not follow
[Chorus:]
Oh you think that you know me, know me
That's why I'm leaving you lonely, lonely
'Cause baby you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me
You ain't got the right to tell me
When and where to go, no right to tell me
Acting like you own me lately
Yeah baby you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me
Mr. Play Your Games
Only got yourself to blame when you want me back again
But I ain't falling back again
'Cause I'm living my truth without your lies
Let's be clear baby this is goodbye
I ain't coming back tomorrow
[Chorus:]
Oh you think that you know me, know me
That's why I'm leaving you lonely, lonely
'Cause baby you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me
You ain't got the right to tell me
When and where to go, no right to tell me
Acting like you own me lately
Yeah baby you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me
[Bridge:]
So what you've got the world at your feet
And you know everything about everything
But you don't
You still think I'm coming back but baby you'll see yeah...
[Chorus:]
Oh you think that you know me, know me
That's why I'm leaving you lonely, lonely
'Cause baby you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me
You ain't got the right to tell me
When and where to go, no right to tell me
Acting like you own me lately
Yeah baby you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me
Mr. Know It All
Well ya think you know it all
But ya don't know a thing at all
Yeah baby you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me

Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)
You know the bed feels warmer
Sleeping here alone (sleeping here alone)
You know I dream in color
And do the things I want (I do the things I want)
You think you got the best of me
Think you've had the last laugh
Bet you think that everything good is gone
Think you left me broken down
Think that I'll come running back
Baby, you don't know me, 'cause you're dead wrong
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
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
You heard that I was starting over with someone new
They told you I was moving on over you
You didn't think that I'd come back
I'd come back swinging
You tried to break me but you see
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
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
Thanks to you I got a new thing started
Thanks to you I'm not the broken hearted
Thanks to you I'm finally thinkin' 'bout me
You know in the end the day you left was just my beginning
In the end
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger (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
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
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)
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I (what doesn't kill you)
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger (stronger)
Stand a little taller (taller)
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone (what doesn't kill you)
When I'm alone
Sleeping here alone (sleeping here alone)
You know I dream in color
And do the things I want (I do the things I want)
You think you got the best of me
Think you've had the last laugh
Bet you think that everything good is gone
Think you left me broken down
Think that I'll come running back
Baby, you don't know me, 'cause you're dead wrong
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
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
You heard that I was starting over with someone new

Dark Side
There's a place that i know
it's not pretty there and few have ever gone
if i show it to you now
will it make you run away
or will you stay
even if it hurts
even if i try to push you out
will you return?
and remind me who i really am
please remind me who i really am
everybody's got a dark side
do you love me?
can you love mine?
nobody's a picture perfect
but we're worth it
you know that we're worth it
will you love me?
even with my dark side?
like a diamond
from black dust
it's hard to know
what can become
If you give up
so don't give up on me
please remind me who i really am
everybody's got a dark side
do you love me?
can you love mine?
nobody's a picture perfect
but we're worth it
you know that we're worth it
will you love me?
even with my dark side?
don't run away
don't run away
just tell me that you will stay
promise me you will stay
don't run away
don't run away
just promise me you will stay
promise me you will stay
will you love me? ohh
everybody's got a dark side
do you love me?
can you love mine?
nobody's a picture perfect
but we're worth it

Honestly
Could you love somebody like that?
Could you attract someone like that?
Could you go where people can see someone like me?
Could you do that?
Would you face me?
Make me listen to the truth even if it breaks me?
You can judge me, love me
If you're hating me, do it honestly
All I see are stepford-like lives
Needles and knives, beautiful lies
Bringing out the green in your eyes
Perfect disguise for envy and pride
Face me
Make me listen to the truth even if it breaks me
Judge me, love me
If you're hating me, do it honestly
Face me
Make me listen to the truth even if it breaks me
You can judge me, love me
If you're hating me...
Would you face me?
Make me listen to the truth even if it breaks me
Judge me, love me
If you're hating me, do it honestly
Honestly, honestly, honestly
Could you attract someone like that?
Could you go where people can see someone like me?
Could you do that?
Would you face me?
Make me listen to the truth even if it breaks me?
You can judge me, love me
If you're hating me, do it honestly
All I see are stepford-like lives
Needles and knives, beautiful lies
Bringing out the green in your eyes
Perfect disguise for envy and pride
Face me
Make me listen to the truth even if it breaks me
Judge me, love me
If you're hating me, do it honestly
Face me
Make me listen to the truth even if it breaks me
You can judge me, love me
If you're hating me...
Would you face me?
Make me listen to the truth even if it breaks me
Judge me, love me
If you're hating me, do it honestly
Honestly, honestly, honestly

You Love Me
Thick skin, soft touch
Heart of gold but it's na-na-na-not enough
Forgiving arms, the higher road
Working hard but it's na-na-na-not enough
You said I'm not good enough, I'm not good enough
But what you really mean is you're not good enough, you're not good enough
You can't deliver so you turn it around...
You didn't let me down,
You didn't tear me apart,
You just opened my eyes,
While breaking my heart,
You didn't do it for me,
I'm not as dumb as you think,
You just made me cry,
While claiming that you love me,
You love me, you love me,
You said you loved me but that
I'm not good enough, I'm not good enough..
Stronghold, but fun ride,
But rollercoasters aren't just na-na-na-not enough,
I keep it in, you wear me out,
This kind of love is na-na-na-not enough,
Said I'm just a sinking ship, I'm just a sinking ship,
But what that really means,
Is you can't handle this, you can't handle this,
You couldn't win so you turn it around...
You didn't let me down,
You didn't tear me apart,
You just opened my eyes,
While breaking my heart,
You didn't do it for me,
I'm not as dumb as you think,
You just made me cry,
While claiming that you love me,
You love me, you love me,
You said you loved me but that
I'm not good enough, I'm not good enough.
Your love feels different.
It's like a blow to the head with your compliments.
Your love hurts deeper.
It's like a brick in the sea and I'm drowning with it.
You didn't let me down,
You didn't tear me apart,
You just opened my eyes,
While breaking my heart,
You didn't do it for me,
I'm not as dumb as you think,
You just made me cry,
While claiming that you love me,
You love me, you love me,
You said you loved me but that
I'm not good enough, I'm not good enough.
So understand it means nothing when you say you love me
When you say you love me
When you say you love me
You love me, you love me
You didn't let me down,
You didn't tear me apart,
You just opened my eyes,
While breaking my heart,
You didn't do it for me,
I'm not as dumb as you think,
You just made me cry,
While claiming that you love me,
You love me, you love me,
You know the truth is that,
You're not good enough, you're not good enough
Heart of gold but it's na-na-na-not enough
Forgiving arms, the higher road
Working hard but it's na-na-na-not enough
You said I'm not good enough, I'm not good enough
But what you really mean is you're not good enough, you're not good enough
You can't deliver so you turn it around...
You didn't let me down,
You didn't tear me apart,
You just opened my eyes,
While breaking my heart,
You didn't do it for me,
I'm not as dumb as you think,
You just made me cry,
While claiming that you love me,
You love me, you love me,
You said you loved me but that
I'm not good enough, I'm not good enough..
Stronghold, but fun ride,
But rollercoasters aren't just na-na-na-not enough,
I keep it in, you wear me out,
This kind of love is na-na-na-not enough,
Said I'm just a sinking ship, I'm just a sinking ship,
But what that really means,
Is you can't handle this, you can't handle this,
You couldn't win so you turn it around...
You didn't let me down,
You didn't tear me apart,
You just opened my eyes,
While breaking my heart,
You didn't do it for me,
I'm not as dumb as you think,
You just made me cry,
While claiming that you love me,
You love me, you love me,
You said you loved me but that
I'm not good enough, I'm not good enough.
Your love feels different.
It's like a blow to the head with your compliments.
Your love hurts deeper.
It's like a brick in the sea and I'm drowning with it.
You didn't let me down,
You didn't tear me apart,
You just opened my eyes,
While breaking my heart,
You didn't do it for me,
I'm not as dumb as you think,
You just made me cry,
While claiming that you love me,
You love me, you love me,
You said you loved me but that
I'm not good enough, I'm not good enough.
So understand it means nothing when you say you love me
When you say you love me
When you say you love me
You love me, you love me
You didn't let me down,
You didn't tear me apart,
You just opened my eyes,
While breaking my heart,
You didn't do it for me,
I'm not as dumb as you think,
You just made me cry,
While claiming that you love me,
You love me, you love me,
You know the truth is that,
You're not good enough, you're not good enough

Einstein
Simple math
Our love divided by the square root of pride
Multiply your lifeless time
I'm going out of my mind
It was heavy when I finally figured it out alone
And I know I'm wrong sometimes
But it ain't rocket science
And I may not be Einstein but I know
Dumb plus dumb equals you
Dumb plus dumb equals you
Dumb plus dumb equals you, you
Even had the nerve to flirt with her in front of my face
Here's your keys, your bags, you clothes,now get out of my place
You said I'm crazy, now we're happy
Is that supposed to comfort me?
And I know I'm wrong sometimes
But it ain't rocket science
Yeah I may not be Einstein but I know
Dumb plus dumb equals you
Dumb plus dumb equals you
Dumb plus dumb equals you, you
All of your promises flushed
A thousand apologies just
Take out the pain and let it leaves us
With nothing at all, no, nothing at all
You can stop wasting my time
Without you I'm just fine
Why did it take me so long to figure it out
Dumb plus dumb equals you
Equals you, yeah
And I know I'm wrong sometimes
But it ain't rocket science
Yeah I may not be Einstein but I know
Dumb plus dumb equals you
Dumb plus dumb equals you
Simple math
Our love divided by the square root of pride

Standing In Front Of You
You say it's easier
Alone and undisturbed
You said yes and danced before
And got your feelings hurt
You say most days your good
It's not so bad this room
Watching the rain today
Even though it's clear and sunny
And you fight it so hard
How to tell if it's real or not
Take a breath and listen (listen)
Open up stop wishin' (wishin')
All that you've been missin' (missin')
Standing in front of you
Everything you're fearin' (fearin')
All the walls are buildin' (buildin')
Take a chance you're reason (reason)
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you
You start to sway again
Feelin' good in your skin
You start to remember when
You didnt have to try
And then the glitter turns to dust
The color fades enough to make out pictures of a fire
That burns like love
You can close your eyes don't worry
I'll still be here in the morning
Take a breath and listen (listen)
Open up stop wishin' (wishin')
All that you've been missin' (missin')
Standing in front of you
Everything you're fearin' (fearin')
All the walls are buildin' (buildin')
Take a chance you're reason (reason)
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you
And they wont break us
And they cant get through
Cause I'm gunna be here
Standing in front of you
Take a breath and listen (listen)
Open up stop wishin' (wishin')
All that you've been missin' (missin')
Standing in front of you
Everything you're fearin' (fearin')
All the walls are buildin' (buildin')
Take a chance you're reason (reason)
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you

I Forgive You
I forgive you, I forgive me
Now when do I start to feel again?
I forgive you, I forgive me
Now when do I start to feel again?
'Cause the lights are on
But I'm never home
But I'll be back with a brand new attitude
'Cause I forgive you
[chorus]
I forgive you
We were just a couple of kids
Trying to figure out how to live doing it our way
No shame, no blame
'Cause the damage is done
And, and I forgive you
I forgive you
We were busy living a dream
Never noticed the glass city falling in on us
No shame, no blame
'Cause the damage is done
And, and I forgive you
I forgive you, I forgive me
Now when do I start to feel again?
If I hate you what does that do?
So I breathe in and I count to 10
'Cause the lights are on
And I'm coming home
Yes, I am back with a new heart in my hand
'Cause I forgive you
[repeat chorus]
I forgive you
For every times that I cried
Over some stupid thing you did to hurt me
That's alright
Yeah, I forgive you
I forgive you
We were just a couple of kids
Trying to figure out how to live doing it our way
No shame, no blame
'Cause the damage is done
And, and I forgive you
[repeat chorus]
Now when do I start to feel again?
I forgive you, I forgive me
Now when do I start to feel again?
'Cause the lights are on
But I'm never home
But I'll be back with a brand new attitude
'Cause I forgive you
[chorus]
I forgive you
We were just a couple of kids
Trying to figure out how to live doing it our way
No shame, no blame
'Cause the damage is done

We were busy living a dream
Never noticed the glass city falling in on us
No shame, no blame

Hello
Yes I stumbled into the night
We're touching but I feel like you're still out of reach
But people hear a buzzing like we're dug on a lie
I'm feeling like I always see them, but they can't see me
Said a man of feelings
Never get me anywhere
My heart concern is bleeding
Is there anybody, anybody?
Hello, hello
Is anybody listening?
Let go! It's everyone that's calling me
Oh oh, won't somebody show me that I'm not alone, not alone
Yeah I'm coming through this desert of stone
These faces on the statues that I used to know
Wishing I was more than what my story is told
Or hoping that I'm dreaming in the day and this isn't happening
Gotta keep it alltogether
Long and for a hand to hold
Keep clear on the shadows
Is there anybody, anybody?
Hello, hello
Is anybody listening?
Let go! It's everyone that's calling me
Oh oh, won't somebody show me that I'm not alone, not alone
Holding on to the memories of when I, I didn't know
Ignorance isn't wise but it beats being alone
Hello,
Is anybody listening?
Let go! It's everyone that's calling me
Oh oh, won't somebody show me that I'm not alone, not alone
Hello,
Is anybody listening?
Let go! It's everyone that's calling me
Oh oh, won't somebody show me that I'm not alone, not alone
We're touching but I feel like you're still out of reach
But people hear a buzzing like we're dug on a lie
I'm feeling like I always see them, but they can't see me
Said a man of feelings
Never get me anywhere
My heart concern is bleeding
Is there anybody, anybody?
Hello, hello
Is anybody listening?
Let go! It's everyone that's calling me
Oh oh, won't somebody show me that I'm not alone, not alone
Yeah I'm coming through this desert of stone
These faces on the statues that I used to know
Wishing I was more than what my story is told
Or hoping that I'm dreaming in the day and this isn't happening
Gotta keep it alltogether
Long and for a hand to hold
Keep clear on the shadows
Is there anybody, anybody?
Hello, hello
Is anybody listening?
Let go! It's everyone that's calling me
Oh oh, won't somebody show me that I'm not alone, not alone
Holding on to the memories of when I, I didn't know
Ignorance isn't wise but it beats being alone
Hello,
Is anybody listening?
Let go! It's everyone that's calling me
Oh oh, won't somebody show me that I'm not alone, not alone
Hello,
Is anybody listening?
Let go! It's everyone that's calling me
Oh oh, won't somebody show me that I'm not alone, not alone

The War Is Over
I watch the days rush by me like a river
I shouldn't wait, but I'm scared to touch the water
I let the phone ring, why won't you believe me
I wait for silence, takes a lot not to answer
All I have to say is
You don't deserve me, you don't deserve me
I'm finally walking away
Cause you don't deserve me, and you're not worthy
And I won't let you pull me in
Because I know you're gonna win
(The war is over) but the war is over (The war is over)
And I won't fight you anymore
I never been so sure
(The war is over) cause the war is over
I used to let you paint 'em pretty pictures
You got me caught up with your "you're my girl forever"
So I forgive you, it felt good when you hold me
Yeah you owned me
Now you wish you had really known me
All I have to say is you don't deserve me, you don't deserve me
I'm finally walking away, cause you only hurt me
And you're not worthy
And I won't let you pull me in
Because I know you're gonna win
(The war is over) but the war is over (The war is over)
And I won't fight you anymore
I never been so sure
(The war is over)
This is not my surrender
I'm not running for cover
I'm right here, I know you see me
But your words no longer defeat me
In the night when you're lonely
You remember how much you miss me
So you call, well I swear
You can try a million times, you'll get the same message
All I have to say is you don't deserve me, you don't deserve me
I'm finally walking away, cause you only hurt me
And you're not worthy
And I won't let you pull me in
Because I know you're gonna win
(The war is over) but the war is over (The war is over)
The war is over
The war is over
The war is over
The war is over
The war is over
The war is over
The war is over
I shouldn't wait, but I'm scared to touch the water
I let the phone ring, why won't you believe me
I wait for silence, takes a lot not to answer
All I have to say is
You don't deserve me, you don't deserve me
I'm finally walking away
Cause you don't deserve me, and you're not worthy
And I won't let you pull me in

Let Me Down
I think I might be a fortune teller
I read your face just like a letter
The funny thing about forever
Is it comes with a side of never never
I cant buy into what you're selling
And no its not that I don't want it
Believe me I love to close my eyes, enjoy the ride
But you've made a bad decision and I
I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know
You're only gonna let me down
When it counts, you countdown
You're only gonna turn me out
As I burn, you burn out
You're only gonna make me feel so crazy
But when I think we could be something
You go and let me down, let me down, oh
I am too smart to let you in here
But I'm just dumb enough to linger
I wanna think that you'll be different
Smoking mirrors are so clever clever
I picked him and things went so bad
Then what you say won't actually happen
I've been dying to open my eyes
See you try instead of always leaving me out to dry
You're only gonna let me down
When it counts, you countdown
You're only gonna turn me out
As I burn, you burn out
You're only gonna make me feel so crazy
But when I think we could be something
You go and let me down, let me down, oh
I need to be there when you say you're gonna be
I care to much and you care enough to leave
I want some place to rest my head without waiting
It's not fair, It's not fair, It's not fair, It's not fair
It's not fair to me, cause I know by now
You're only gonna let me down
When it counts, you countdown
You're only gonna turn me out
As I burn, you burn out
You're only gonna make me feel so crazy
But when I think we could be something
You go and let me down, let me down
You're only gonna let me down
When it counts, you countdown
You're only gonna turn me out
As I burn, you burn out
You're only gonna make me feel so crazy

You Cant Win
If you go, they'll say your following
If you don't, then your too good for them
If you smile, you must be ignorant
If you don't, whats your problem

Breaking Your Own Heart
Shaking your head like it's all wrong
Before you're here you're already gone
And even with the light all around you
You're all alone in the dark.
You're breaking your own heart
Taking it too far down the lonely road
You say it's just one love
But when it's close enough you just let it go
The very thing you've been the most afraid of
You've been doing it from the start, breaking your own heart.
Too many tears, too many falls
It's easy to hear behind these walls
But you don't have to walk in the shadows
Life is so hard.
You're breaking your own heart
Taking it too far down the lonely road
You say it's just one love
But when it's close enough you just let it go
The very thing you've been the most afraid of
You've been doing it from the start, breaking your own heart.
You're breaking your own heart.
It's not too late, I'm still right here.
If only you let go of your fears.
You're breaking your heart
Taking your own heart down the lonely road
You say it's just one love
But when it's close enough you just let it go
The very thing you've been the most afraid of
You've been doing it from the start, breaking your own heart.
You're breaking your own heart
Before you're here you're already gone
And even with the light all around you
You're all alone in the dark.
You're breaking your own heart
Taking it too far down the lonely road
You say it's just one love
But when it's close enough you just let it go
The very thing you've been the most afraid of
You've been doing it from the start, breaking your own heart.
Too many tears, too many falls
It's easy to hear behind these walls
But you don't have to walk in the shadows
Life is so hard.
You're breaking your own heart
Taking it too far down the lonely road
You say it's just one love
But when it's close enough you just let it go
The very thing you've been the most afraid of
You've been doing it from the start, breaking your own heart.
You're breaking your own heart.
It's not too late, I'm still right here.
If only you let go of your fears.
You're breaking your heart
Taking your own heart down the lonely road
You say it's just one love
But when it's close enough you just let it go
The very thing you've been the most afraid of
You've been doing it from the start, breaking your own heart.
You're breaking your own heart

Stronger is the fifth studio album by American singer Kelly Clarkson, released on October 21, 2011, by RCA Records. The thirteen-song track-list features Clarkson collaborating with various new producers as well as with Howard Benson, whom she collaborated with on her previous album, All I Ever Wanted (2009).
Wanting to stray away sonically from her previous albums, Clarkson's main objective was to record her vocal performances as it is heard in her live sets, and used as little auto-tune processing as possible. The album also marked the first release by Clarkson that did not cause a conflict with RCA; her previous records, most notably My December (2007), were released amidst conflict and controversy.
Clarkson began writing new material for the album in November 2009 while touring and finished recording in February 2011. Despite its original intent to be released in late 2010, the release date of the album was pushed back several times. The record is predominantly a pop rock album, with several music critics noting the predominant R&B and country influences Clarkson explored in Thankful (2003) and All I Ever Wanted, as well as dance-pop themes which she had recently developed. The album's lyrical content mainly explores themes about heartbreak, vengeance, forgiveness and empowerment through metaphors about Clarkson's relationships around people.
Upon its release, Stronger received generally favorable reviews from critics, who praised Clarkson's vocal performance, but noted its lack of progression, unlike her previous albums. In the United States, Stronger debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 and became her first record to be certified platinum in five years by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) since My December. Internationally, it debuted within the top-ten in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.
Stronger received four nominations at the 55th Grammy Awards: It won Best Pop Vocal Album and was nominated for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance for "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)".
The album produced three singles. "Mr. Know It All" topped the charts in Australia and South Korea and attained top-ten positions in four countries, including the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" became the album's most successful release and Clarkson's most successful single overall. It topped the charts in the United States, Poland, Denmark, and Slovakia and attained top-ten positions in over twenty countries around the world.
The final single, "Dark Side", was released to moderate success, attaining top-ten positions in three countries. Clarkson promoted Stronger in two concert tours, the Stronger Tour and the 2012 Summer Tour with American alternative rock band, The Fray.
