I Survived lyrics

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
