Good-Bye Love
For the longest time I've only wanted to love you but didn't know how
After all you've put me through, you tell me you're ready now
But as each day passes by I've finally begun to understand
You could care less about how I feel, you never thought to reach out your hand
Frustrations build in my head, making me feel so alone
How could I be so blind and not see the disrepect has grown?
It only takes one kiss or a few words for you to ease my pain
But baby if I don't walk away from you now all we'll have is rain
So when I say good-bye one last time
Understand I only tried to make you happy while you were mine
Time after time, I was patient with you
And now I find out you were creepin on the low instead of being true
You've tried to convince me again and again it was she who lied
These lonely nights spent by myself make me realize a part of me has died
As much as I want you stading by my side I've learned to look away
Now that you see I've had enough you're begging me to stay
All I can do is look at you and shake my head
You weren't too concerned about me when you had another woman layin' in our bed
Stop blamin me for your mistakes, I won't put up with it anymore
Don't act like you arent like other men, you know what I'm walkin' away for
It's not much different without you, wait that's not the truth
Instead of being brought down I'm a strong woman once again
Bye for just one last time while we're sittin' here arguin' about where I was last night
Tell me how it feels now to be walked out on in a middle of a fight!
There is only one more thing I need to tell, in the morning you're gone
If not there will be drama when your clothes are thrown out on the wet lawn
Don't look at me as if I'm the one doin' you wrong
You were the one that didn't believe me when I said I couldn't put it up with it for long
This is where our story ends, there's not much more to say
Your boys have told me how you're doing, looks like you're not too worried about yesterday
That is how I know I'm glad I have moved on
My heart has healed, and my tears are finally GONE!
