Gratitude

I was broken down inside
And treated like a little child
Made to think its do or die
I was wrong and never right
You left me with a bitter smile
Put running purple down my eyes
And what I’ve come to realize
I’m sharper now than any knife

Didn’t know if I’d make it out
I figured how, to ball it up, I wear it on my sleeve now

Thank you
I’m better off now
That’s my attitude
Thank you
For kicking me when I’m down
What do I owe you?
Here’s something for my gratitude

I’m coming out a better girl
Surprising when you burned my world
These ashes turning into pearls
Much better now than what they were
And from all this what I've learned
What you will get’s what you deserve

Didn't know if I'd make it out
I figured how to ball it up,
I wear it on my sleeve now.

Thank you
I’m better off now
That’s my attitude
Thank you
For kicking me when I’m down
What do I owe you?
Here’s something for my gratitude

For a minute I expected something different
I know
You’ll never get it and that’s why you’re getting something else so
If you can get it up
I’ll do my best to shoot you down
And if you fall in love
I’ll leave you on your knees now

Thank you
I’m better off now
That’s my attitude
Thank you
For kicking me when I’m down
What do I owe you?
Here’s something for my gratitude
