I Survived You

Clay Aiken · Measure Of A Man [2003]

I see the picture

Clearer now

the fog has lifted

The wool you tried

To pull over

My eyes was clever

Yeah your 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 yeah

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
