[THE CARDINALS]
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
[SANTANA with THE CARDINALS harmonizing]
You know the bed feels warmer
Sleepin' here alone (Sleepin' here alone)
You know I dream in color
And do the things I want
[BRITTANY]
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'd come running back
Baby, you don't know me, 'cause you're dead wrong
[RACHEL with THE CARDINALS]
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
[SANTANA with RACHEL]
You heard that I was starting over with
Someone new
They told you I was moving on
Over you
[BRITTANY with THE CARDINALS]
You didn't think that I'd come back
I'd come back swinging
[BRITTANY]
You try to break me, but you see
[RACHEL with THE CARDINALS (THE CARDINALS)]
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!
[SANTANA]
Thanks to you I've got a new thing started!
[RACHEL]
Thanks to you I'm not the broken-hearted!
[SANTANA]
Thanks to you I'm finally thinking about me!
[RACHEL & SANTANA]
You know in the end
The day you left was just my beginning
[SANTANA]
In the end
[SANTANA (and RACHEL) with THE CARDINALS, {RACHEL}]
(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 {Yeah!}
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little (Taller!)
[SANTANA with THE CARDINALS (RACHEL), {BRITTANY}]
Doesn't mean I'm lonely (Brittany: What doesn't kill you) when I'm alone (No, not alone)
Stronger, stronger (Yeah)
Just me, my {What doesn't kill you} self and I (Yeah!)
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger (Stronger!)
Stand a little taller (Stronger!)
Doesn't mean I'm lonely {What doesn't kill you} when I'm alone (Not alone)
[THE CARDINALS]
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
EVERYONE LOVES WHAT THEY ARE DOING! I can not believe I doubted them. I should have trusted them more. I mean they have absolutely kicked ass with this setlist!
We will be able to make Nationals no problem!

[RACHEL]
We could just go home right now
Or maybe we could stick around
For just one more drink, oh yeah
Get another bottle out
Let's shoot the breeze
Sit back down
For just one more drink, oh yeah
Here's to us
Here's to love
All the times
That we messed up
Here's to you
Fill the glass
Cause the last few days
Have gone too fast
So lets give 'em hell
Wish everybody well
Here's to us
Here's to us
We stuck it out this far together
Put our dreams through the shredder
Let's toast cause things got better
And everything could change like that
And all these years go by so fast
But nothing lasts forever
[RACHEL with THE CARDINALS]
Here's to us
Here's to love
All the times
That we messed up
Here's to you
Fill the glass
[RACHEL]
'Cause the last few nights
Have gone too fast
[RACHEL with THE CARDINALS]
If they give you hell
Tell em to forget themselves
Here's to us
Here's to us
[RACHEL with THE CARDINALS harmonizing]
Here's to all that we kissed
And to all that we missed
To the biggest mistakes
That we just wouldn't trade
[RACHEL with THE CARDINALS]
To us breaking up
Without us breaking down
To whatever's comin' our way
[RACHEL]
Here's to us
Here's to us!
[THE CARDINALS]
Here's to us
Here's to love
All the times
That we messed up
[RACHEL with THE CARDINALS]
Here's to you
Fill the glass
[RACHEL]
'Cause the last few days
Have gone too fast
[RACHEL with THE CARDINALS]
So let's give em hell
Wish everybody well
[RACHEL]
Well!
[THE CARDINALS]
Here's to us
Here's to love
[RACHEL with THE CARDINALS]
All the times
That we messed up
Here's to you
Fill the glass
Cause the last few nights
Have gone too fast
If they give you hell
Tell em forget themselves
[RACHEL]
Here's to us
[THE CARDINALS]
Here's to us
[RACHEL]
Oh here's to us
[THE CARDINALS]
Here's to us
[RACHEL with THE CARDINALS, & (THE CARDINALS)]
Here's to us
Here's to love
(Here's to us)
[RACHEL]
Wish everybody well
[RACHEL with THE CARDINALS]
Here's to us
Here's to love
Here's to us
[RACHEL]
Here's to us
The whole audience is on their feet and applauding them. They did absolutely amazing up there! Both them and the warblers have nothing to be ashamed of. Win or lose I am proud of both teams!
Next time I will be ready though. I should have been ready for them. I should have been ready for the competition and I failed as their teacher with that. Next time I will be ready for sure.
Next time...next time we will not have Rachel, Quinn, Santana, or Brittany apart of the team. I keep a smile on as the kids come to us to cheer. But inside I am dying a little. I am going to lose teaching my baby girl.
What am I going to do?
