[Verse 1]
You thought you had me bent
Had me under, had me spent
Every cut, every cold remark
I was bruised, but I found my spark
You tried to break my name
Left your weight on my frame
But pressure made a diamond glow
Now I move with a different soul
[Pre-Chorus]
I cried, then I rose
I learned what pain can show
What you meant for my end
Built me back again
[Chorus]
Made me better
Made me better
What you threw at me
Turned me into a fighter
Made me better
Made me better
Thank you for the fire
It taught me to desire
[Verse 2]
I don't wear that wound no more
I walked out and closed that door
Learned to laugh with the scar
Found my joy right where you are
You were the storm, I was the rain
Now I stand after the pain
Every tear had something true
Every night led me to you
[Pre-Chorus]
I cried, then I rose
I learned what pain can show
What you meant for my end
Built me back again
[Chorus]
Made me better
Made me better
What you threw at me
Turned me into a fighter
Made me better
Made me better
Thank you for the fire
It taught me to desire
[Bridge]
I’m grateful now
For the hell I knew
It showed me love
And what not to do
I learned to joy life
Even with the scars
I found my gold
Inside the dark
[Chorus]
Made me better
Made me better
What you threw at me
Turned me into a fighter
Made me better
Made me better
Thank you for the fire
It taught me to desire
