I Survived You

I see the picture clear now, the fog has lifted
The wool you tried to pull over my eyes was clever
Yeah you're gifted
But you forgot to dot some i's, and cross some t's along the way.
I'm better now despite you, baby
I'm stronger these days
Stronger

I survived the crash
Survived the burn
Survived the worst, yeah, baby, but I learned
Survived the lies
Survived the blues
Almost killed me, but I survived the truth
And when you wrote me off like I was doomed
I survived you

I can look in the mirror now
It's been a slow awakening
Haunted by a heart full of you, couldn't help mistaking
That you could ever care for anyone
Anyone but yourself, hey
But you would have to have a conscience, baby
Good luck I wish you well

I survived the crash
Survived the burn
Survived the worst, yeah, baby, but I learned
Survived the lies
Survived the blues
Almost killed me, but I survived the truth
And when you wrote me off like I was doomed
I survived you

This heart has been torn in two
Cut and bruised
With too many bitter endings
I'll be damned if I have thoughts of you
Rain on my new beginning

I survived the crash
Survived the burn
Survived the worst, yeah, baby, but I learned
Survived the lies
Survived the blues
Almost killed me, but I survived the truth
And when you wrote me off like I was doomed

I survived the crash
Survived the burn
Survived the worst, yeah, baby, but I learned
Survived the lies
Survived the blues
Almost killed me, but I survived the truth
And when you wrote me off like I was doomed
I survived you
