F#m C#m D I was born in a thunderstorm F#m C#m D I grew up overnight F#m C#m I played alone, D Bm I'm playing on my own, I survived, F#m C#m D I wanted everything I never had, F#m C#m D like the love that comes with life F#m C#m D I wore Envy and I hated that, C# but I survived. F#m C#m D I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go F#m C#m D where the wind don't change and nothing in the ground can ever grow, F#m C#m D No hope, just lies and you're taught to cry in your pillow, C# but I'll survive.
