Wake up in the morning and I'm by myself
Sad and so depressed since you left
I hate to think you're smiling with somebody else
And I know you'll never love me again

And I try and pretend that it's all okay
That I'm doing better without you
Getting harder and harder every day
But I'm just trying to make it through

Need your love, need your touch
To keep me going
Need your lips, tender kiss
I'm so broken

And believe me, I'm trying to let you go
But I need you to know that it's difficult
And it hurts, really hurts
And I'm still coping (oh)
I'm still coping (oh)
I'm still coping

And I try and pretend that it's all okay
But I'm broken, broken
Getting harder and harder with every day
But I'm coping, I'm coping

Need your love, need your touch
To keep me going
Need your lips, tender kiss
Girl, I'm so broken

I, to keep me going
I need it
I'm coping (oh)
Still I'm coping, yeah
It hurts, and it hurts with you gone, oh (oh)

Toni Braxton (born on October 7, 1967) is an American singer-songwriter, pianist, record producer, actress, and philanthropist, and has been active since 1989. She is best known for her single “Unbreak My Heart” and her second album Secrets. Braxton was discovered early by William E. Pettaway Jr., who helped her launch her career.

Braxton first started performing with her four sisters in a family band titled “The Braxtons” in the late 1980s, successfully attracting the attention of Antonio “L.A.” Reid and Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, who were co-artists Braxton’s songs, including her signature song, Un-Break My Heart.

L.A. Reid and Babyface brought Braxton in as a substitution and had her record a demo of “Love Shoulda Brought You Home”. The song made it onto the soundtrack of the movie Boomerang, giving her early success and recognition. Braxton started recording her solo debut album at LaFace Records on July 13, 1993, quickly gaining popularity as it peaked at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 Albums Chart. Braxton’s debut album has won her several awards, including three Grammy Awards. Her debut album also won her two American Music Awards.
