I was lost in the shadows, in the dark of your lies
Thought I needed your love, but it was all in disguise
You played with my heart, made me believe
That what we had was real, but it was only make-believe

So thank you for the lesson, now I finally see
You showed me what love isn’t, and set my heart free
I learned not to fall for the mask that you wore
Thank you for teaching me, I deserve so much more

Your words were like poison, they cut deep inside
You showed no mercy, no place left to hide
But now I know better, I can stand on my own
Your cruelty taught me how to be strong, alone

So thank you for the lesson, now I finally see
You showed me what love isn’t, and set my heart free
I learned not to fall for the mask that you wore
Thank you for teaching me, I deserve so much more
So thank you for the lesson, now I finally see
You showed me what love isn’t, and set my heart free
I learned not to fall for the mask that you wore
Thank you for teaching me, I deserve so much more

So thank you for the lesson, now I finally see
You showed me what love isn’t, and set my heart free
I learned not to fall for the mask that you wore
Thank you for teaching me, I deserve so much more

Now I walk away with my head held high
No more tears to cry, no more wondering why
Thank you for the lesson, now I know for sure
I'm stronger without you, and I deserve so much more
