Keep your broken promises I don't want them
And you can keep your man honey I don't want him
Because I already opened my heart up and got burned
But what can I say, you live and you learn
But I'll never do that shit again
Because my heart can't handle being broken
Promises of a life that you can't deliver
Looking back on it that sounds real familiar
Over and over again I fall for you
But not anymore honey I'm through with you
I'm closing this door for good
And living my life as I should
Carefree and full of happiness
Not heartache and unnecessary stress
It hurts to say that I don't love you anymore
But it's for my own good because you treated me like a whore
And I expected so much more from you
But I see now that I was just something to do
Now these tears fall every night
And my thoughts wake me before the morning light
But I know now what I need to do
I need to forgive and forget to get over you
And that's just what I'm ready to do
As I can no longer hold on to you
I just hope that you can forgive me for the things that I've done and said
And all of the corruptive things that you've read
Because from here on out
Self love is all that I'm about
And you can keep your man honey I don't want him
Because I already opened my heart up and got burned
But what can I say, you live and you learn
But I'll never do that shit again
Because my heart can't handle being broken
Promises of a life that you can't deliver
Looking back on it that sounds real familiar
Over and over again I fall for you
But not anymore honey I'm through with you
I'm closing this door for good
And living my life as I should
Carefree and full of happiness
Not heartache and unnecessary stress
It hurts to say that I don't love you anymore
But it's for my own good because you treated me like a whore
And I expected so much more from you
But I see now that I was just something to do
Now these tears fall every night
And my thoughts wake me before the morning light
But I know now what I need to do
I need to forgive and forget to get over you
And that's just what I'm ready to do
As I can no longer hold on to you
I just hope that you can forgive me for the things that I've done and said
And all of the corruptive things that you've read
Because from here on out
Self love is all that I'm about
