I wrote this just to tell you
'Cause I finally had the chance to realize
That what you put me through was everything I needed
Didn't know it in the moment
That I wanted something different
But I only saw the broken
And now I see the reason
Why I spent all those nights crying
Nearly getting suicidal
Guess I'm glad that all the bad turned into good
Oh, I'm thankful that I lost you
'Cause I found every part of me
Oh, the healing, it was painful
But the scars didn't cut too deep
'Cause I finally found somebody else
And he loves the things about myself
That you never loved
I wish I coulda' seen how this would end
'Cause now I know how it all ends
And I'd do it all again
I know I put the blame on you
I hope you see that's half the truth
I thought you meant to hurt me
Now I know you didn't mean it
So if I ever think of us
I think of when the good part was
'Cause if you never gave me up
I wouldn't have the one I love
But I spent all those nights crying
Nearly getting suicidal
Guess I'm glad that all the bad turned into good
Oh, I'm thankful that I lost you
'Cause I found every part of me
Oh, the healing, it was painful
But the scars didn't cut too deep
'Cause I finally found somebody else
And he loves the things about myself
That you never loved
I wish I coulda' seen how this would end
'Cause now I know how it all ends
And I'd do it all again
It might've taken therapy
But I bought my mom a house
From the heartbreak royalties
And I don't need your sympathy
'Cause I turned the tears to somethin'
That means more to me
So all I have to say is
That I'm thankful 'cause I lost you
And I found every part of me
Oh, the healing, it was painful
But the scars didn't cut too deep
'Cause I finally found somebody else
And he loves the things about myself
That you never loved
I wish I coulda' seen how this would end
'Cause now I know how it all ends
And I'd do it all again
I could say I'm sorry but I'm not
I got exactly what I want
And I'm so thankful
You had your fingers crossed
