Stronger on Your Own Lyrics
Everybody has a story to tell
Listen closely now and you can hear mine as well
I was addicted to breaking my heart
I couldn't get enough of feeling it torn apart
So conflicted, in feeling the pain
I say I've had enough but still want it all again
I won't deny
I tried to hide it
But it was killing me inside
And now I
Feel unwhole
So if you're able to survive
And still you find yourself alone
You will begin to realize
That you are stronger on your, stronger on your own
I've created my own personal hell
Come inside with me and you can be mine as well
This affliction will blacken your heart
I keep believing as it's tearing my soul apart
Self-destruction is the name of the game
I say I've had enough but still want it all again
I won't deny
I tried to hide it
But now it's killing me inside
And now I
Feel so cold
So if you're able to survive
And still you find yourself alone
You will begin to realize
That you are stronger on your own
And when you're able to decide
Then you don't want this anymore
You'll be the one to turn the tide
For you are stronger on your, stronger on your
Stronger on your own
Leave it alone
Bury it, bury it
Leave it alone
Bury the dead
Leave it alone
Bury it, bury it
Leave it alone
Bury the dead
Leave it alone
Bury it, bury it
Leave it alone
Bury the dead
So if you're able to survive
And still you find yourself alone
You will begin to realize
That you are stronger on your own
And when you're able to decide
Then you don't want this anymore
You'll be the one to turn the tide
For you are stronger on your, stronger on your
Stronger on your own
Listen closely now and you can hear mine as well
I was addicted to breaking my heart
I couldn't get enough of feeling it torn apart
So conflicted, in feeling the pain
I say I've had enough but still want it all again
I tried to hide it
But it was killing me inside
And now I
Feel unwhole
And still you find yourself alone
You will begin to realize
That you are stronger on your, stronger on your own
Come inside with me and you can be mine as well
This affliction will blacken your heart
I keep believing as it's tearing my soul apart
Self-destruction is the name of the game
I say I've had enough but still want it all again
I tried to hide it
But now it's killing me inside
And now I
Feel so cold
And still you find yourself alone
You will begin to realize
That you are stronger on your own
Then you don't want this anymore
You'll be the one to turn the tide
For you are stronger on your, stronger on your
Stronger on your own
Bury it, bury it
Leave it alone
Bury the dead
Leave it alone
Bury it, bury it
Leave it alone
Bury the dead
Leave it alone
Bury it, bury it
Leave it alone
Bury the dead
And still you find yourself alone
You will begin to realize
That you are stronger on your own
Then you don't want this anymore
You'll be the one to turn the tide
For you are stronger on your, stronger on your
Stronger on your own

A confession about how a person who loved something self destructive (in this case, getting their heart broken) was forced to break the addiction on their own, and found that in doing so became significantly stronger for it. Now he encourages everyone else to break free on their own, and find that hidden strength they always had.
Another interpretation is that even if it seems like you have no one on your side, or just no one to turn to, yet you are continuing to survive, you're proving to yourself that you do have the strength to make it on your own!
The song's message is that if you love somebody and she breaks up with you for seemingly no good reason, don't kill yourself. Just try to survive as long as you can and then you will realize that you are stronger on your own than you ever were with her. The song's message also applies if you lose friends or if you get kicked out of a social group or if you lose family. Basically the song's message is for people who, one way or another, lose someone who mattered to them.
