I Survived You Lyrics - Measure Of A Man - Clay Aiken

I see the picture clearer now 

And the fog has lifted 

The wool 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 strong 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 

That 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's been torn in two 

Cut and bruised with too many bitter endings 

And 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
