Survive

Left me underwater there to drown
Never thought I’d ever get my feet back on the ground
Put up with the madness for a while
And got worn out
Can’t believe I let you break me down

Before I came to my senses
See I tried everything I knew how
And you tried everything to count us out
But there’s no looking back since I got you out of my system

I remember the day, I was running away
Left a letter with my goodbyes, bye, bye
There’s no need for a reply
I was running away, I can’t stay
Cause I’m better with you out of my life, life, life
Bet you didn’t think I’d survive
Bet you didn’t think I’d survive, bet ya, bet ya, bet ya
Bet you didn’t think I’d survive
Bet you didn’t think I’d survive, bet ya, bet ya, bet ya
Bet you didn’t know it
I’d survive, I’d survive

You took your feelings and locked them in
So hard to show it, so hard to care
It’s not my fault you can’t free
Your bottled emotions, yeah, yeah
I wanted to show you just how it feels
When somebody loves you and that love is real
But you wouldn’t let me, now I don’t care
See I tried everything I knew how
And you tried everything to count us out
But there’s no looking back since I got you out of my system

I remember the day, I was running away
Left a letter with my goodbyes, bye, bye
There’s no need for a reply
I was running away, I can’t stay
Cause I’m better with you out of my life, life, life
Bet you didn’t think I’d survive
Bet you didn’t think I’d survive, bet ya, bet ya, bet ya
Bet you didn’t think I’d survive
Bet you didn’t think I’d survive, bet ya, bet ya, bet ya
Bet you didn’t know it
I’d survive, I’d survive

If I had to hike a thousand miles
In order to rediscover my smile
Think things so far, or turn back time
I’ve been here where I’m supposed to be
Up on a mountain with no one around
I found a way to stand my ground
It’s so much better than living with nothing
Feel like nothing

I remember the day, I was running away
Left a letter with my goodbyes, bye, bye
There’s no need for a reply
I was running away, I can’t stay
Cause I’m better with you out of my life, life, life
Bet you didn’t think I’d survive
Bet you didn’t think I’d survive, bet ya, bet ya, bet ya
Bet you didn’t think I’d survive
Bet you didn’t think I’d survive, bet ya, bet ya, bet ya
Bet you didn’t know it
I’d survive, I’d survive
