Sangtekst: Clay Aiken. Measure Of A Man. I Survived You.

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
