Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I been waiting for so long now i'm stranded, now i'm stranded
I been knocking on your door and it's raining
cause your love kinda broke me down
still missing pieces
of that heart girl you let it down
until it freezes
You took me for granted
yeah you took me for granted

now need to rise up, need to rise up
from the dead
I'm a survivor
yes I'm a survivor
I'm a survivor
i will overcome this
I will overcome this

I'm not asking for the logic or the reason, cause there isn't
i'm not asking for lightest attention
Buy your love kinda broke me down
still missing pieces
of that heart girl you let it down
until it freezes
You took me for granted
yeah you took me for granted
now need to rise up, need to rise up
from the dead
I'm a survivor
yes I'm a survivor

I'm a survivor
i will overcome this
