[Verse 1]
It's over now, I can't compete
I don't know how I'm still standing on my feet
So turned around and incomplete
I'm not that happy woman that I used to be
Oh, please tell me what did you mean
When you said that you were mine, you knew that was a line
But in your heart, you know the truth
And I'm trying to forget
All the things you put me through, oh baby

[Chorus]
I never thought you'd turn your back
And walk away from love like that
While I was holding on to you
All you did was let me go
I never thought I would regret
The way I felt when we first met
And now I'm standing here
Alone in this world, alone

[Verse 2]
It's over now, we can't go on
In my eyes I thought that you could do no wrong
It's no surprise we both belong
Because of you my heart's singing a sad song
Oh, please tell me what did you mean
When you said that you were mine, you knew that was a line
But in your heart you know the truth
And I'm trying to forget
All the things you put me through, oh baby

[Chorus]
I never thought you'd turn your back
And walk away from love like that
While I was holding on to you
All you did was let me go
I never thought I would regret
The way I felt when we first met
And now I'm standing here
Alone in this world, alone

[Bridge]
I can't believe our love is over now
Where did love go? (Tell me where did love go)
And why did I believe that we would be together forever
Now it's all a memory

[Chorus]
I never thought you'd turn your back
And walk away from love like that
While I was holding on to you
All you did was let me go
I never thought I would regret
The way I felt when we first met
And now I'm standing here
Alone in this world, alone
I never thought you'd turn your back
And walk away from love like that
While I was holding on to you
All you did was let me go
I never thought I would regret
The way I felt when we first met
And now I'm standing here
Alone in this world, alone
I never thought you'd turn your back
And walk away from love like that
While I was holding on to you
All you did was let me go...

Faith Evans is a singer-songwriter-producer who was the first lady of Bad Boy Entertainment and former wife of the label’s star, The Notorious B.I.G.

After working as a background singer for Al B. Sure!, Faith was writing songs and singing background for artists such as Mary J. Blige, Usher, and Tony Thompson before releasing her own debut album, Faith, in 1995. The album was certified platinum and featured the gold singles “You Used To Love Me” and “Soon As I Get Home”. After Biggie’s murder on March 9, 1997, Faith—along with Puff Daddy and 112—paid tribute to him on the #1 pop single “I’ll Be Missing You”, which won a Grammy for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group in 1998.

Her second album, Keep the Faith, also achieved platinum status and featured the gold single “Love Like This”. She left Bad Boy after her third album, Faithfully, and released several albums through multiple labels, including the 2017 duet project, The King & I, which mixed her vocals with acapellas from The Notorious B.I.G. She appeared in the 2003 movie The Fighting Temptations, as well as the reality television shows R&B Divas and Love & Hip Atlanta.
