Thank You (For Messing Me Up)

Heideroosjes · Fast Forward [2001]

Here I'm standing, yes, I'm crying

Oh my God I feel like dying

I am not a tough guy anymore

I would never know, what I know now

If you didn't break our vow

And yes, of course, it hurts like hell

Although you messed me up really bad

And took every bit of pride I had

I wanna thank you for doing that

Although you messed me up, made me mad

Took every bit of sense I had

I wanna thank you for doing that

Here I'm standing, yes I'm fighting

Some things can't be caught in writing

A new chapter in my book of life

Whatever might, whatever should

Have I not done all that I could?

But my best wasn't good enough for you

Although you messed me up really bad

And took every bit of pride I had

I wanna thank you for doing that

Although you messed me up, made me mad

Took every bit of sense I had

I wanna thank you for doing that

All that hurts me, makes me stronger

All that hurts me, makes me more complete

All that hurts me. makes me stronger
