Thrive

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 thrive
 I thrive
 Thrive
 Every little 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
 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
 Didn't just survive
 Didn't just survive, boy, without you, now I thrive
 I more than, more than, more than made it out alive
