I see the picture clearer now
and the fog has 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 lies 
 Survived the blues
It almost killed me
But i survived the truth
And the best is when the smoke
cleared trough
I survived you

I can look in the mirror now,
it's been a slow awakening
Blinded by a heart full of you
I couldn't help mistakening

But you could ever 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
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 trough
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
raining down on my new beginning!

I survived the crash
Survived the burn
Survived the worst
Yeah baby, but i'v' learned
Survived the lies
Survived the blues
It almost killed me
But i survived the truth
And the best is when the smoke 
cleared trough
I survived you
