It hurts to know how much he hurt me
It makes me sick to know how much of myself I lost


But it gives me a chance to grow
He's given me the chance to fall in love with myself
And learn how to better myself
Showed me I never want to be as weak as I was when I was with him
He's given me the ability to know there is better love , better life
A love that does not cheat, or neglect

Because of him I know I am worth more than he gave me
I can find happiness within myself
I am strong, and I am beautiful
I will find someone who respects me,
find someone who loves me as I should be loved

I deserve better. He showed me that.
