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 youâd change, I chose to stay,
Believed every word youâd 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 goâŠ
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 couldnât change what I could feel.
You made me question what Iâm worth,
Like I had nothing on this earth,
But love like mine donât come twiceâŠ
You lost it, and thatâs your price.
(Pre-Chorus)
I gave you chances, more than fair,
But you were never really there,
Now Iâm walking out your door,
I wonât 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 goâŠ
But I deserve a love that shows.
(Bridge)
Maybe one day youâll look back,
At the love you chose to lack,
But I wonât be there anymore,
Iâve closed and locked that door.
You canât fix what you let die,
You canât heal a last goodbyeâŠ
I gave you truth, you gave me pain,
I wonât make that mistake again.
(Final Chorus)
Monica, Iâm letting go,
Of the man youâll never know,
All the love I gave for free,
Now Iâm giving back to me.
Yeah it broke me, made me fallâŠ
But I survived through it all,
And one day Iâll thank the painâŠ
For teaching me to love again.
(Outro)
So this is where I say goodbye,
No more tears, no more âwhyââŠ
You had my heart, you let it goâŠ
Now Iâ
