Who I Am

(chorus) Thank you for all the tears, all the stress You're the best I feel blessed I'm a better woman now Look how I smile All you did was help the next man Cause this experience made me who I am I tried to make me love ya I tried to make me stay But every time I tried, myself and I got in the way And just for the sake of my daughter I tried to stick to the plan But I had to get rid of the weight on my fourth finger, left hand To everybody listenin' Sorry if you're disappointed You see the life I chose was only what I thought I wanted Nothing's picture perfect Looks can be deceivin' But what I thought was love was something I could not believe in (chorus) I always hate the feelin' The baby boy was cheatin' I kept tellin' myself, "if you ain't happy Brand, just leave him" I wasn't raised to quit Cause quitters never win But what do you gain, if you feel incomplete within I'm sick of all the questions All the words and why's What happened, why'd y'all break up, why we never see you cry But do you know how it feels To be hurt behind closed doors And when you go outside, you're wonderin' why you're smilin' for (chorus) Now that it's over I can live Now all you have belongs to me My heart is open like a book And everything he eats I cook What I'm to him, he is to me We are each other's everything But if I wouldn't stay with you I wouldn't have it like I do (chorus 2x)
