Verse 1)
I told them all my heart was gone,
That it belonged to you alone,
Turned away love at my door,
For something I believed was more.
You had a child, I gave her mine,
A borrowed love I made divine,
I built a life inside your name,
But you were never in the same.
(Pre-Chorus)
You said youтАЩd change, I chose to stay,
Believed every word youтАЩd say,
Crossed the distance, crossed the pain,
Just to stand in your rain.
(Chorus)
Monica, you broke me slow,
Loved you more than you could know,
Gave you all I had inside,
While you loved someone else in silence.
Now I see what I ignored,
I was fighting a losing war,
And it hurts to let you goтАж
But I deserve a love that shows.
(Verse 2)
I saw the truth behind your eyes,
Hidden well between your lies,
Tears you cried, they felt so real,
But they couldnтАЩt change what I could feel.
You made me question what IтАЩm worth,
Like I had nothing on this earth,
But love like mine donтАЩt come twiceтАж
You lost it, and thatтАЩs your price.
(Pre-Chorus)
I gave you chances, more than fair,
But you were never really there,
Now IтАЩm walking out your door,
I wonтАЩt beg you anymore.
(Chorus)
Monica, you broke me slow,
Loved you more than you could know,
Gave you all I had inside,
While you loved someone else in silence.
Now I see what I ignored,
I was fighting a losing war,
And it hurts to let you goтАж
But I deserve a love that shows.
(Bridge)
Maybe one day youтАЩll look back,
At the love you chose to lack,
But I wonтАЩt be there anymore,
IтАЩve closed and locked that door.
You canтАЩt fix what you let die,
You canтАЩt heal a last goodbyeтАж
I gave you truth, you gave me pain,
I wonтАЩt make that mistake again.
(Final Chorus)
Monica, IтАЩm letting go,
Of the man youтАЩll never know,
All the love I gave for free,
Now IтАЩm giving back to me.
Yeah it broke me, made me fallтАж
But I survived through it all,
And one day IтАЩll thank the painтАж
For teaching me to love again.
(Outro)
So this is where I say goodbye,
No more tears, no more тАЬwhyтАЭтАж
You had my heart, you let it goтАж
Now IтАЩ
