You used to say that I'd never be
|
Nothing without you and I believed
|
I'm striding the roads, I guess I can't breathe
|
Just lay here with me, baby, hold me, please
|
And I beg and I plead, drop to knees
|
And I cry and I'd scream, baby, please don't leave
|
Snatch the keys from your hand, I would squeeze
|
And you'd laugh and you'd tease, you're just fucking with me
|
And you must hate me
|
Why do you date me if you say I make you sick?
|
And you've had enough of me
|
I smother you, I'm 'bout to jump off the edge
|
|
But you won't break me, you'll just make me stronger than I was
|
Before I met you, I bet you I'll be just fine without you
|
And if I stumble I won't crumble, I'll get back up and uhh
|
And I'mma still be humble when I scream, "Fuck you!" 'cause I'm stronger than I was
|
|
A beautiful face is all that you had
|
'Cause on the inside you're ugly
|
But you're all that I love, aggressed, you can't leave
|
Please stay here with me, baby, hold me please
|
And I'd beg and I plead, drop to knees
|
And I'd cry and I'd scream, baby, please don't leave
|
'Cause you left and you took everything I had left
|
And left nothing, nothing for me
|
So please don't wake me from this dream, baby
|
We're still together in my head
|
And you're still in love with me
|
Till I woke up to discover that that dream was dead
|
|
But you won't break me, you'll just make me stronger than I was
|
Before I met you, I bet you I'll be just fine without you
|
And if I stumble I won't crumble, I'll get back up and uhh
|
And I'mma still be humble when I scream, "Fuck you!" 'cause I'm stronger than I was
|
|
You walked out, I almost died
|
It was almost a homicide that you caused 'cause I was so traumatized
|
Felt like I was in for a long bus ride
|
I'd rather die than you not be by my side
|
Can't count how many times I vomited, cried
|
Go to my room, turn the radio on and hide
|
Though we were Bonnie and Clyde
|
No, on the inside you were Jekyll and Hyde
|
I felt like my whole relationship with you was a lie
|
It was you and I, why did I think it was ride or die?
|
'Cause if you could've took my life you would've
|
It's like you put a knife to my chest and pushed it right through to the
|
Other side of my back and stuck a spike, too, should've
|
Put up more of a fight, but I couldn't at the time
|
No one could hurt me like you could've
|
Take you back now, what's the likelihood of that?
|
Bite me, bitch, chewing on a nineteen footer
|
'Cause this morning I finally stood up
|
Held my chin up, finally showed a sign of life in me for the
|
First time since you left me and left me with nothing but shattered dreams
|
And a life we could've had and we could've been
|
But I'm breaking out of this slump I'm in
|
Pulling myself out of the dumps once again
|
I'm getting up once and for all, fuck this shit
|
I'mma be late for the pity party
|
But you're never gonna beat me to the fucking punch again
|
Took it on the chin like a champ so don't lump me in with the chump-ions
|
I'm done being your punching bag
|
It was the November 31st today, would've been our anniversary
|
Two years, but you left on the first of May
|
I wrote it on the calendar, was gonna call, but couldn't think of the words to say
|
But it came to me just now, so I put 'em in a verse to lay
|
And I thank you 'cause you made me a better person than I was
|
But I hate you 'cause you drained me
|
I gave you all, you gave me none
|
But if you blame me, you're crazy
|
And after all that's said and done
|
I'm still angry, yeah, I maybe
|
I may never trust someone
|
|
But you won't break me, you'll just make me stronger than I was
|
Before I met you, I bet you I'll be just fine without you
|
And if I stumble I won't crumble, I'll get back up and uhh
|
And I'mma still be humble when I scream, "Fuck you!" 'cause I'm stronger than I was
|
