I Survived You

I Survived You

(As Performed By: Clay Aiken)

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

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

Chorus

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

Okay so I will admit it... I loved Clay Aiken when he was on American Idol.  When he sang Unchained Melody.... I got goose bumps....  It's sad to see now that after the release of his first album he kind of fizzled away into oblivion but there were a couple good songs on the album.... The one below is one of them....
