Intro
Verse 1
ohh
i used to smile to hide all my pain
i used to laugh when i felt like crying
but now i'm smiling cause babe
i'm not worried, oh no
not worried about you
i used to think you had so much game
now it's like you don't even turn me on
and boy i'm no longer hurting, oh no no
Chorus
(cause i'm a) heartbreak survivor
walked out of love without a scratch
no burns, no bruise, no scars i'm all intact
cause i'm a heartbreak survivor
no i don't plan on turning back ohhh
cause you'll never break my heart again like that
Verse 2
there were times i thought i'd go crazy
there were days i thought i'd lost it all
but i'd rather be alone than have anything
have anything with you at all
i wasn't always the strongest girl
didn't have the toughest skin
but i've been to a place called heartbreak
and i swore i'd never visit there again ohhhh
(reprat chorus except last line)
cause you'll never break my heart again like that
Bridge
now i get to watch that building burn down
no longer a casualty, i'm living now
baby and one day i'll make it out somehow
heartbreak survivor
(plucking style)
i used to smile to hide all my pain
i used to laugh when i felt like crying
but now i'm smiling cause babe i'm not worried, oh no
(repeat chorus back to strum)
