Stronger Than Before

[Verse 1]
We started out like summer, wild and new
Every glance, every touch, felt like it flew
Late nights on your porch, talking ‘til the dawn
Laughing at the world, feeling we belonged
Your hand in mine, lightning in the air
Every little moment, I swore nothing could compare

[Pre-Chorus 1]
But hearts this young, they’re fragile, they’re fast
Some sparks burn bright, some just don’t last

[Chorus]
Love grows stronger than before
Through the heartbreak, through the war
Every fight, every tear, every sleepless night
Built a fire that won’t die
From that first spark to something more
Love grows stronger than before

[Verse 2]
We had our first real fight under a July sky
Words were sharp, pride too high
But when the storm passed, we found our way
Learned love’s more than passion, it’s what you stay
Through broken dishes, late-night calls
Through the winter frost and summer squalls
Every fight, every hurt, every stumble we made
Brought us closer, love that won’t fade

[Pre-Chorus 2]
We learned the hard way, it’s not easy or fast
But love that’s tested is the love that lasts

[Chorus]
Love grows stronger than before
Through the heartbreak, through the war
Every fight, every tear, every sleepless night
Built a fire that won’t die
From that first spark to something more
Love grows stronger than before

[Bridge]
It’s in the quiet mornings, coffee and smiles
In walking side by side for miles and miles
It’s the gentle touch after the hardest words
It’s proving every day what we’ve always heard
That love’s not just laughter, it’s sweat and tears too
It’s staying when the night turns cold and blue
Every scar, every lesson, every fear we fight
Turns a fleeting spark into a lasting light

[Verse 3]
Now we’ve got our rhythm, our little traditions
Late-night drives, soft confessions, inside jokes’ missions
We’ve built a life from the first fragile flame
Turned it into a fire that’s wild, untamed
I look at you now, and I know it’s true
The love we’ve fought for, the love we’ve grown into

[Chorus / Outro]
Love grows stronger than before
Through the heartbreak, through the war
Every fight, every tear, every sleepless night
Built a fire that won’t die
From that first spark to something more
Love grows stronger than before
Stronger than before… stronger than before
