You were a bullet that I dodged
A sickness that I never caught
A building burning down
And I can see that now
Your way with words was pretty
'Til eventually they're ugly letters came on out
And I can hear it now
While you were killin' me, I got stronger
If I'da stayed one second longer
I never would've seen this side
Never hit this stride
If I stayed tied down to you
Guess I should probably thank you
Maybe raise a drink to
Everything I gained when I cut ya loose
No, I didn't just survive
Boy, without you, now I thrive
I thrive
Thrive
Every little lie
And every tear you made me cry
I swear I should've drowned
Instead I swam on out
Every time you tore me down brick by brick
Made it easier to crash through that ceiling
And honestly I'm hitting me an all-time high
Guess you got one thing right, 'cause
I never would've seen this side
Never hit this stride
If I stayed tied down to you
Guess I should probably thank you
Maybe raise a drink to
Everything I gained when I cut ya loose
No, I didn't just survive
Boy, without you now I thrive
I thrive
Thrive
I didn't just survive
I didn't just survive, boy, without you, now I thrive
I more than, more than, more than made it out alive
I didn't just survive, boy, without you, now I thrive
I more than, more than, more than made it out alive
I never would've seen this side
Never hit this stride
If I stayed tied down to you
Guess I should probably thank you
Maybe raise a drink to
Everything I gained when I cut ya loose
No, I didn't just survive
Boy, without you, now I thrive
I thrive
Thrive
Didn't just survive
Didn't just survive, boy, without you, now I thrive
I more than, more than, more than made it out alive
