Chorus:
I thought I'd die when you left but I'm still taking a breath, I'm okay
Now I'm still here now you're gone and I'll keep singing my song, I'm okay
We been fighting, kicking, cussing, screaming, tell me love, what's the reason?
I thought we loved each other so
I've been throwing pots and pans not holding hands, oh lover ‘tis the season
But I've gotta let you go
I should of known from the start that you'd tear up my heart, I'll never...

I thought I'd die when you left
I thought I'd die
But I'm still taking a breath, I'm okay
I thought I could never let you go
But I'm still here now you're gone
And now your gone
And I'll keep singing my song, I'm okay
Check it out, let me come like this

Let me hear my baby singing, come on

Are you gonna act like you and sneaking out and creeping ‘round?
You're bad at cheating
Thought you were different from them all
Now you gotta look your daughter in the eye and tell her that her daddy's leaving
You're so stereotypical
I shoulda known from the start that you'd tear up my heart, I'll never...

I thought I'd die when you left
I thought I'd die
But I'm still taking a breath, I'm okay
I thought I couldn't live without you baby
Now it's just me and the kid after all that you did, I'm ok
The whole thing make me wanna say…

Let me hear my babies holler, come on, sing it baby

Get up girl
Get up girl and dry your tears
It's messed up how he makes you feel
I know you don't wanna be lonely
And what you gonna do for money?
He's lying, cheating when you're trying to raise a family
Forget that sucker
Drop that sucker
You will make it without him
Get up girl and dry your tears
Get up girl
It's messed up how he makes you feel
I know you don't wanna be lonely
Don't wanna be lonely
And what you gonna do for money?
What you gonna do for money?
He's lying, cheating when you're trying to raise a family
Raise a family
Forget that, fuck that
You can make it without him
You can make it without him
I thought I'd die when you left
You can make it without him but I'm still taking a breath, I'm okay
I thought I couldn't live without you baby
Now it's just me and the kid after all that you did, I'm okay
Okay
The whole thing make me wanna say…
‘Cause I'm singing

Let me hear my babies holler, come on, sing it baby
