[Verse 1]
I thought I had it all with you
A love so pure, a love so true
But then I found out you were untrue
Betrayed my heart, left me feeling blue
[Chorus]
But now I'm standing tall
Overcoming the hurt and all
I've found the strength to move on
Your betrayal is gone
[Verse 2]
I thought I couldn't live without you
But I found the courage to push through
My heart was shattered, but now it's healed
I found my worth, my strength revealed
[Chorus]
But now I'm standing tall
Overcoming the hurt and all
I've found the strength to move on
Your betrayal is gone
[Bridge]
I won't let your lies define me
I won't let your betrayal bind me
I've found the strength to let you go
And now I'm free, to live and grow
[Chorus]
But now I'm standing tall
Overcoming the hurt and all
I've found the strength to move on
Your betrayal is gone
[Outro]
I'm stronger now, without you near
I'm living life, without any fear
Your betrayal was a lesson learned
Now I'm moving on, my heart has turned
My heart was turned
I'm stronger now, without you near
I'm living life, without any fear
