The fights, those nights
I tried to pretend it don't hurt
The way, I prayed
Someday that you would love me
Really, completely
Just how I wanted it to be
But no, so wrong
Can't believe I stayed with you so longYou hit, you spit, you split, ever-why bit of me, yeah
You stole, you broke, you're cold
You're such a joke to me, yeahFor every last bruise you gave me
For every time I sat in tears
For the million ways you hurt me
I just want to tell you this
You broke my world, made me strong
Thank you
Messed up my dreams, made me strong
Thank youMy head, near dead
Just the way you wanted it
My soul, stone cold
'cause I was under you're control
So young, so dumbKnew just how to make me succumb
But I un-derstand
To make yourself feel like a manYou hit, you spit, you split, ever-why bit of me, yeah
You stole, you broke, you're cold
You're such a joke to me, yeahFor every last bruise you gave me
For every time I sat in tears
For the million ways you hurt me
I just want to tell you this
You broke my world, made me strong
Thank you
Messed up my dreams, made me strong
Thank youYou coulda had it all babe
It coulda been so right
I woulda given you everything
Morning through night
Yeah, you taught me some lessons
Those are my blessings
That won't happen again
Thank you
