I Survived

You tried so hard to ruin my life
and all those words
they cut like a knife
And all you did was
try to bring me down
Well I survived and
I'm still around yeah
I learned to live
with the guilt and shame
and now I know
how to live with a name
No more will I cower with fear
I voice my power from far and near

I survived the hell
you put me through
I survived without you

Even though you hurt my pride
I haven't curled up and died
I wanna know how you're feeling right now
Are you looking to
escape somehow yeah
Times were hard
and times were rough
But I learned I had to be tough
I
I'd like to be known that
