I Survived You
Written by: Ty Lacy, Jess Cates & Jeff Franzel
Recorded by: Clay Aiken

I see the picture clear 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 stronger these days, stronger 

CHORUS:
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 
I couldn't help mistaking 
That you could ever care for anyone 
Anyone but yourself
But you would have to have a conscience baby, 
Good luck, I wish you well 

CHORUS

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... 

CHORUS twice
