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 thrivе
I thrive, thrive

Every littlе 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, 'vive

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
I didn't just survive (I didn't just survive, boy, without you now I thrive)
'Vive (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
