I've got stories to tell, but no means to tell them
I've got words to get out, but they'll send me to hell
I bet you drunk at the Franklin
Blowing off all that grief that I gave you
It's cold when you're here and it's cold when you're not
You hit me like a bullet, but I took it cause I'm strong
And I'm the closest to a man, a man I never was
And I'm driving home
And I'm driving home
From the worst night of life
Thanksgiving was like hell, but I give thanks that I'm alive
I don't care that I don't mean it
I don't care that I can't hide it like I used to
What's the use to?
I will survive, but I'll never recover
The ache comes and goes like scars with the weather
I'm stuck with the painting
I'm stuck with the painting

The plates of all the love I still have for you
I'm not mad at you
I thought I could change it for better
All I did was break it forever
You needed saving
And I couldn't save you this time
All I did was break it forever
I had reasons to run
And reasons to fight
Don't ask me why I stayed
Cause I couldn't tell you why
I was hopeless
I was young
I was young
I was angry
But I thought I was fine
Now this place is empty
And if the walls could talk
They would tell you how it is
They'd tell you how it's not
Cause I would never take the blame
On all the things
That I know were my fault
I will survive
But I'll never recover
But I'll never recover
The love and the balance
Will never be covered
You don't owe me nothing
There's no debt to me, darling
I promise you
I'm not mad at you
I'm not mad at you
Oh, I'm not mad at you
I'm not mad at you
I'm not mad at you

Oh, I'm not mad at you
But I can change you for better
All I did was break it forever
You didn't save it
But I could not save you this time
Oh, I did
Can you still see me




We'll break it forever
I will survive but I'll never recover
I will survive but I'll never recover
I will get by but I'll never get over
I will survive but I'll never get over
I will survive but I'll never recover
