in AlbumAs I Am

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh [4x]

[Verse 1]

Broken promises

My heart you stole

Lies you told

Got the best of me

Digging in my heart of gold

Used to look at you

And see the possibilities

I see you for who you are

Boy you've disappointed me

[Hook]

I thought you gave me love

Was never near enough

Soon enough time reveals

Love wait of what is real

Know all I need to know

But see you got to go

What have you given me ?

But lies lies

[Chorus]

Go head go on and get up out of here

Go head baby

You knew you was wrong

You knew all along

Must be crazy

If you think I'm gone fall for this anymore

Everybody say no no no no no

[Verse 2]

You still believe in every word you said

Clouds my head

Leaving me here to drown

Hopes and dreams therefore dead

You point your finger

Trying to justify your mistakes

Our days is goin to be made

So you best be on your way

[Hook]

[Chorus]

No need to apologize

Don't try to make it right

I know

I should known betta

When you took hold

I was sold

Using fear to control

Now it unfolds

Let me tell you right now

What I'm gonna do

Imade up my mind

Its time and I'm through with you

Nothing you can say or can do

Can make me change me mind

[Chorus]
