You

(Verse 1)

Used to think I needed you, a crutch

Lost myself, loved you too much

Thought my world would fall apart

Without your guiding, beating heart

(Chorus)

You, you were a lesson learned

You, a fire that brightly burned

Now the ashes clear, I see the light

You, I'm stronger than before, tonight

(Verse 2)

I picked myself up, dusted off the pain

Learned to love myself again

Built a fortress strong and tall

I don't need you here at all

(Chorus)

You, you were a lesson learned

You, a fire that brightly burned

Now the ashes clear, I see the light

You, I'm stronger than before, tonight

(Bridge)

Thank you for the heartache, the tears

For showing me my biggest fears

Now I embrace the unknown road

Free from the heavy, heavy load

(Chorus)

You, you were a lesson learned

You, a fire that brightly burned

Now the ashes clear, I see the light

You, I'm stronger than before, tonight

(Outro)

You... are a memory

You... helped me find my way

You... I'm better every day
