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
