Are you surprised to see me?
Or just to see me in one piece?
I'm not the girl you remember am I?
I just came to tell you that I survived.

You left a broken heart,
Within a broken girl.
You left the ashes,
Of dreams gone up in smoke.
You left the scars,
Of false promises.
But I found the hope
You didn't destroy,
And I survived

Did you ever feel guilty?
When you lay in her arms knowing I stood alone?
Don't bother me with apologizes,
I just came to tell you that I survived.

Don't worry about the broken heart,
It's been mended.
Don't worry about the ashes,
They were swept up and reborn.
Don't worry about the scars,
They healed with another's help.
I again have hope.
See, you couldn't keep me down forever,
Because I survived.
