Who are you to tell me that I cant go on without you Why you tellin me I'm never gonna survive But once upon a time yes I believed that lie But sorry no way no how you can't control my mind 'Cause if I thought you were the end all it might be alright I would've never left you alone and I wouldn't be on my own And I never never woulda grown No no ain't no way you gone take away My joy, my peace, my strength No no ain't no way you gone take away My joy, my peace, my strength Thank you for the times of all the pain you gave me The hate you showed to me taught me how to love myself It's funny how you tried to break down my pride and my spirit It doesn't even matter now 'cause I done moved on with my life 'Cause if I thought you were the end all it might be alright I would've never left you alone and I wouldn't be on my own And I never never woulda wrote this song No no ain't no way you gone take away My joy, my peace, my strength No no ain't no way you gone take away My joy, my peace, my strength
