I Survived You

[Verse 1] You broke me down with every word, left me bleeding, left unheard. Your rage was thunder, your love a lie, but I learned to walk, I learned to cry. [Pre-Chorus] And now the mirror shows my face, not the ghost you tried to trace. [Chorus] I survived you — your nights, your storms, your cruel touch, your twisted forms. I’ve seen the worst that love can do, but baby, I survived you. [Verse 2] You said I’d fall without your name, but freedom burns away the shame. The bruises fade, the truth remains, I found my strength inside the pain. [Pre-Chorus] And I don’t need your empty eyes, I’ve learned that peace can rise. [Chorus] I survived you — your words, your fire, your poison dressed in sweet desire. You tried to break what you can’t undo, but baby, I survived you. [Bridge – slow, emotional build] Now I’m walking in the rain, washing off your bitter stain. Every scar’s a proof I’m real, every wound I let time heal. [Final Chorus – full voice, triumphant] I survived you — your hate, your lies, I’m standing tall beneath new skies. No more chains, no tears, no blue — ’Cause baby, I… survived you. [Outro – slow blues guitar fade] Yeah, I survived you… and I’m never coming back.
