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 youโd change, I chose to stay,
Believed every word youโd 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 goโฆ
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 couldnโt change what I could feel.
You made me question what Iโm worth,
Like I had nothing on this earth,
But love like mine donโt come twiceโฆ
You lost it, and thatโs your price.
(Pre-Chorus)
I gave you chances, more than fair,
But you were never really there,
Now Iโm walking out your door,
I wonโt 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 goโฆ
But I deserve a love that shows.
(Bridge)
Maybe one day youโll look back,
At the love you chose to lack,
But I wonโt be there anymore,
Iโve closed and locked that door.
You canโt fix what you let die,
You canโt heal a last goodbyeโฆ
I gave you truth, you gave me pain,
I wonโt make that mistake again.
(Final Chorus)
Monica, Iโm letting go,
Of the man youโll never know,
All the love I gave for free,
Now Iโm giving back to me.
Yeah it broke me, made me fallโฆ
But I survived through it all,
And one day Iโll thank the painโฆ
For teaching me to love again.
(Outro)
So this is where I say goodbye,
No more tears, no more โwhyโโฆ
You had my heart, you let it goโฆ
Now Iโ
