[Verse 1]
You looked right through me
Like I was glass
I wore your silence
Like broken class
You left me hungry
For my own name
I learned your poison
Then burned the blame
[Pre-Chorus]
And I kept standing
In the wreck you made
Picked up my pieces
In the shade
Now I can see it
Clear as steel
What tried to kill me
Taught me to heal
[Chorus]
Thank you for hating me
You made me stronger
Thank you for hating me
I stood up harder
Thank you for hating me
I found my fire
Thank you for hating me
I rose higher
[Verse 2]
I read my scars
Like a private map
Every wound you gave me
Fell into my lap
Learned every lesson
You refused to teach
Built my own house
Out past your reach
I became the woman
You never let be
Not your shadow
Not your debris
[Pre-Chorus]
And I kept standing
In the wreck you made
Picked up my pieces
In the shade
Now I can see it
Clear as steel
What tried to kill me
Taught me to heal
[Chorus]
Thank you for hating me
You made me stronger
Thank you for hating me
I stood up harder
Thank you for hating me
I found my fire
Thank you for hating me
I rose higher
[Bridge]
I do not curse you
I do not fold
Your cruelty fed me
Now watch me grow bold
I learned myself
In the hard cold night
Your dark gave distance
My own came bright
[Final Chorus]
Thank you for hating me
You made me stronger
Thank you for hating me
I stood up harder
Thank you for hating me
I found my fire
Thank you for hating me
I rose higher
