Dear Mom,

I heard this song for the first time today in the car. It hit me like a ton of bricks! I know it is supposed to be about a break-up but it fit the way I feel about my mom and our relationship 100%. It actually brought me to tears. I just had to share it.....

Here are the words for those who don't want to watch the video. I underlined a few parts that really expressed how I feel:

Woke up late today and I still feel the sting of the pain
But I brushed my teeth anyway
I got dressed through the mess and put a smile on my faceI got a little bit stronger

Riding in the car to work and I'm trying to ignore the hurt
So I turned on the radio, stupid song made me think of you
I listened to it for minute but I changed it
I'm getting a little bit stronger, just a little bit stronger

And I'm done hoping that we could work it outI'm done with how it feels, spinning my wheels
Letting you drag my heart around
And, oh, I'm done thinking that you could ever changeI know my heart will never be the same
But I'm telling myself I'll be okay
Even on my weakest days
I get a little bit stronger

Doesn't happen overnight but you turn around
And a month's gone by and you realize you haven't cried
I'm not giving you a hour or a second or another minute longer
I'm busy getting stronger

And I'm done hoping that we can work it out
I'm done with how it feels, spinning my wheels
Letting you drag my heart around
And, oh, I'm done thinking, that you could ever change

I know my heart will never be the same
But I'm telling myself I'll be okay
Even on my weakest days, I get a little bit stronger
I get a little bit stronger

Getting along without you,
I'm better off without you,
How does it feel without me?I'm getting stronger without you,

And I'm done hoping we could work it out
I'm done with how it feels, spinning my wheels
Letting you drag my heart around
And, oh, I'm done thinking that you could ever change

I know my heart will never be the sameBut I'm telling myself I'll be okay
Even on my weakest days
I get a little bit stronger

I get a little bit strongerJust a little bit stronger
A little bit, a little bit, a little bit stronger
I get a little bit stronger
