Gotta Be Strong

I gotta walk away now , gotta be strong

fix whats wrong, I’ll feel much better, when you’re gone

   treating me wrong, for too long

left me alienated, thinking what planet you from

blinded by love, I weren’t thinking straight

drunk on love, when I sobered up, it wasn't that great

loved to spend a penny all the pennies i made,

So many scars from the pennies you paid

You liked to have a drink,

You like to come home really late at night stinking of booze and being sick in the sink

I was your princess, treated you like a prince,

you left my skin marked with heavy handed finger prints

No matter what you think, you’ll never be my king,

I gotta walk away now my lovesa delicate thing,

Sometimes the truth is not kind, better believe

And sometimes I stayed when it was better to leave

Better to leave

Better to leave

Better to leave

Better, better

Never have I ever Felt deserving of what’s good for me

Broken till I’m open to receive this gift of clarity.

Oh this feeling is leading me home

Lighting my soul on fire

A voice keeps saying,

You gotta be strong, you gotta be strong gets louder

She always did the wrong, thing for the right reason,

always loved and believed him but now she's got to leave him,

now it's the end of the rainy season grey clouds have gone away, no longer suffocated, she's now breathing,

no longer mesmerised by empty promises a life of lies, and all them bad vibes

her head held high, now it’s her time to rise

And now it’s time for pay back,

for all the times she cried

Looking inna da sky

Feeling good for what the future holds

The past is the past

Time to let it go

It all seemed to happen at once

And now he’s gone, she can go where she wants

Feeling warm again, she can open up again

Find the right man and open up her heart again,

No longer broken, just glad it’s over

Sitting on the sofa not looking over her shoulder

over my shoulder

Lookin

Over my shoulder

Over over

Never have I ever Felt deserving of what’s good for me

Broken till I’m open to receive this gift of clarity.

Oh this feeling is leading me home

Lighting my soul on fire

A voice keeps saying,

You gotta be strong, you gotta be strong gets louder

She found truth in unbelievable words

hard to believe that she got kicked to the kerb,

now she’s wondering, what she's done to deserve,

the tears in her eyes, make her vision blurred,

message in a bottle, when his words were slurred,

By the time the penny dropped

she had an empty purse,

she was naive, her good nature was a curse,

Carried on believing in unbelievable words,

She was Living in the wrong frame of mind

Trying a paint a perfect picture but it wasn’t right

Losing hope in all of man kind

Wondering why her man can’t be kind

she in a mindset all men are same

Now she needs to navigate herself away from the pain

Love is gullible, it’s hard game to play it’s true what they, some thing just never change
