[Verse 1:]
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 long

[B-Chorus:]

You hit, you spit, you split, ever-y bit of me, yeah
You stole, you broke, you're cold
You're such a joke to me, yeah


[Chorus:]
For every last bruise you gave me

For every time I sat in tears
For the million ways you hurt me
I just wanna tell you this

You broke my world, made me strong
Thank you
Messed up my dreams, made me strong

Thank you

[Verse 2:]

My head, near dead
Just the way you wanted it
My soul, stone cold

Cos I was under you're control
So young, so dumb
Knew just how to make me succumb

But I understand
To make yourself feel like a man


[B-Chorus:]
You hit, you spit, you split, ever-y bit of me, yeah
You stole, you broke, you're cold

You're such a joke to me, yeah

[Chorus:]

For every last bruise you gave me
For every time I sat in tears
For the million ways you hurt me

I just wanna tell you this
You broke my world, made me strong
Thank you

Messed up my dreams, made me strong
Thank you


[Middle eight:]
You 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


[Chorus till end]
