I Survived You

*by: Clay Aiken

i see the picture clearer now
the fog has lifted
what 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
i'm stronger these days
stronger

i survived the crash
i survived the burn
i survived the worst, ya
but i learned
i survived the lies
survived the blues
it almost killed me
but i survived the truth
and when you wrote me off like i was doomed
yeah, i survived you

i can look in the mirror now
it's been a slow awakening
haunted by a heart full of you
i couldn't help mistaking

good luck, i wish you well

yeah, i survived you....

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

i survived the crash
i survived the burn
i survived the worst, yeah
but i learned
i survived the lies
i survived the blues
it almost killed me
but i survived the truth
and when you wrote me off like i was doomed
yeah, i survived you
