I Got Me Now (alt)

Yeah, I hit rock bottom, but I bounced on the pain

Heart got broke, but I’m back in the game

You thought I’d stay down, but baby, watch this

I turned your goodbye into my next hit

Used to drive by slow just to see that light

Burnin’ in the window, missin’ you at night

Now I roll past with the bass up loud

New boots on and my head unbowed

I ain’t forget how you did me cold

But I ain’t cryin’ in that flannel you stole

You traded me in for a wannabe king

But I found my crown in the wreck of things

Yeah, I’m back from the edge, back in my lane

Took that heartbreak, made it fuel for the flame

You see me smilin’ — that’s real, not fake

I ain’t breakin’ down, I’m breakin’ away This ain’t revenge, it’s a resurrection song

I’m done wonderin’ what the hell went wrong

I ain’t over you — but I ain’t gone cry

'Cause I got me now, and whiskey don’t lie

Backstabbed, outcast, now I'm front row

Took the pain, made flame, let the truth show

You picked a snake, I became a storm

Built from ashes where real men are born

Clocked in at hell, now I’m punchin’ out gold

You cold-hearted — I turned stone bold

Laughed at my loss while I bled in silence

Now I spit verses like a freight train’s violence

He got your body, but I got the soul

I leveled up — now I’m back in control

Don’t text me when your fake life bends

I ain’t your maybe, I ain’t your end

Yeah, I’m back from the edge, back with a spark

Lit up the pain, now I’m glowin’ in the dark

A little more bruised, a whole lot wise

I’m the storm you made when you said goodbye It ain’t payback, but I’m takin’ my shot

Not for you — for everything you forgot

I ain’t all the way over, but I’m damn close by

And I got me now — and whiskey don’t lie

So pour one for the fool I used to be

Toast to the man that pain set free

I ain’t who you left, I’m what you feared

Still standin’, still here, crystal clear
