Fighter

I still have scars but they are fading,
Along with the memories of you and I,
I'm moving on and walking away,
You're not worth the tears that I cry.

It's your turn to feel pain and be alone,
Like I have done for so many years,
But now, today, I'm picking myself up,
I'm forever wiping away those tears.

I know one day that you will be back,
Ready to use me once again,
But before you get here I'll be long gone,
Because I'm throwing away you and the pain.

I'm stronger now than I was before,
And I know that's all down to you,
I'm not as weak as I once was,
Thanks for making me a fighter too.

I owe you for doing what you did to me,
I guess I have you to praise in a way,
If it wasn't for you I'd be a crumbling mess,
You made me who I am today.

So thanks for all the hurt and the pain,
And breaking my heart into two,
My defenses are up and I'm keeping my guard,
I'm a fighter because of you ...
