*survived you...*

I see the picture clearer now
and the fog's been lifted
the wall 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
i survived the burn
survived the worst yeah baby but i've learned
survived the lies
survived the blues
it almost killed me but i survived the truth
and the best is when the smoke cleared through
i survived you

i can look in the mirrow now
it's been a slow awakening
blinded by a heart full of you
i couldn't help mistaking
but you could never care for anyone
anyone but yourself
but you would have to have
a conscience baby
good luck, i wish you well, wish you well

i survived the crash
i survived the burn
survived the worst yeah baby but i've learned
survived the lies
survived the blues
it almost killed me but I survived the truth
and the best is when the smoke cleared through
i survived you

this heart has been torn in two,
cut and bruised
with to many bitter endings
i'll be damned if i have thoughts of you
raining down on my new beginning

survived the lies
survived the blues
it almost killed me but I survived the truth
and the best is when the smoke cleared through
i survived you
i survived you

you said that we weren't trough
I didn't know what to do
I survive, I survived you
when you were gone i just couldn't go on
I survive, I survived you
I'm over you
I found somebody new
