Oh lord, is it true what they say?
That he's been breaking my heart since day number one.
She said, "Ooooh child, it don't matter cuz he's gone, and his child was never born so that you could go...
Back to being strangers, back to being just an idea, a little thought that would cross your mind every now and then.
Oooh girl, don't jump into another cage, when you've worked so hard at setting yourself free. Tell him to just..."
"Leave you alone
You're free to roam from here..."
"Put your mind at ease, don't dwell on things that couldn't be."
Oh boy, did you plan to hurt me so?
Cuz I've been picking myself apart, eating myself alive.
'Til I decided I was hopeless and that I could not be loved.
A child that never healed because I was wrong.
Unfit for every purpose, undeserving of your love
And the voice inside my head would never leave me be
But then it told me ooooh girl
don't jump into another cage when you've burned yourself complete to be born again...
Just fly away alone
You're free to roam from here
Put your mind at ease and don't dwell on things that couldn't be
What hurts more? That he don't love you anymore? Or that maybe, maybe he never cared?
oooh girl, oooh lord, ooooh girl...
