Survivor - Richard Thompson

Oh you’ve been through some battles

I can see by the pain in your eyes

As you look off into the distance

That far away sign

They could have destroyed you

But somehow you came through it all

Beat up, combusted

But better from learning to fall

So here’s to another survivor

Your troubles are distant like me

I’ve been waiting my whole life to love you

I’ll treat you as fine as can be

There’s a lot to come knocking

Is that why you’re looking at all

You’re tired of the bullshit

You can’t take the lies anymore

It’s there on their faces

The words don’t impress you so much

You spent your life half as a doormat

Half as a crutch

So here’s to another survivor

Your troubles are distant like me

I’ve been waiting my whole life to love you

I’ll treat you as fine as can be

Now let’s lean on each other

It’s quicker to get down the road

We both are less likely to stumble

By sharing the load

And here’s to another survivor

Your troubles are distant like me

I’ve been waiting my whole life to love you

And I’ll treat you as fine as can be

And I’ll treat you as fine as can be
