Why you tellin me I'm never gonna survive But once upon a time yes I believed that lie (Oh lawd) But sorry no way no how you can't control my mind
'Cause if I thought you were the end all in my be all I would've never left you alone and I wouldn't be on my own and I never never woulda grown no no no aint no way you gone take away My joy, my peace, my strength no no no ain't no way you gone take away My joy, my peace, my strength
Thank you for the times of all the pain you gave me The hate you showed to me taught me how to love myself It's funny how you tried to break down my pride and my spirit It doesn't even matter now 'cause I done moved on with my life
Cause if I thought you were the end all in my be all I would've never left you alone and I wouldn't be on my own and I never never woulda wrote this song no no aint no way you gone take away My joy, my peace, my strength no no no ain't no way you gone take away My joy, my peace, my strength No, aint no way
