"I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter / Dancing through the fire / 'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar"

"I don't care who you are / Where you're from / What you did / As long as you love me"

"I only want to die alive / Never by the hands of a broken heart / I don't wanna hear you lie tonight / Now that I've become who I really am"

"You had your chance, you blew it / Out of sight, out of mind / Shut your mouth, I just can't take it / Again, and again, and again, and again"

"But now I'm / Stronger than yesterday / Now it's nothing but my way / My loneliness ain't killing me no more"
