I can't believe you're gone   Why did you leave?   Sometimes it hurts so bad      He's the kind of guy that runs the streets   But he treats me good   And he makes his dough illegally   That's how he's taking care of me      And I respect the fact that   He's chosen that life   But it keeps me up late at night   And I just can't spend my time      Wondering where he's at? Is he okay?   Wanna be by his side   But I commit a crime, Bonnie to his Clyde   I don't wanna live that way      I love my baby so   But he's not here no more   Hard for me to understand   So I wrote him this song      Couldn't look him in his eyes   Knew I couldn't change his mind   So I wrote this melody   And I'm singing sweet goodbye      Though he promised that   He would never put me in harm's way   That's something that he can't control   'Cause the game remains the same      And now he says he wants out of it   But he's in too deep   And the only way that he will go   Is killing him or leaving me      So this is where I'm at   And it hurts so bad   That I had to choose   If I wanna live or die with you      I love my baby so   But he's not here no more   Hard for me to understand   So I wrote him this song      Couldn't look him in his eyes   Knew I couldn't change his mind   So I wrote this melody   And I'm singing sweet goodbye      I love my baby so   But he's not here no more   Hard for me to understand   So I wrote him this song      Couldn't look him in his eyes   Knew I couldn't change his mind   So I wrote this melody   And I'm singing sweet goodbye      I tried to give him hope   And promised him my life   But I don't know what made him   Want to live this life      And as he went away   A tear fell from my eye   And there's no turning back   There's only goodbye      I love my baby so   But he's not here no more   Hard for me to understand   So I wrote him this song      Couldn't look him in his eyes   Knew I couldn't change his mind   So I wrote this melody   And I'm singing sweet goodbye      I love my baby so   But he's not here no more   Hard for me to understand   So I wrote him this song      Couldn't look him in his eyes   Knew I couldn't change his mind   So I wrote this melody   And I'm singing sweet goodbye      I love you so   I need you so   It's hard to imagine   My life here without you      I love you so   I need you so   It's hard to imagine   My life here without you      Without you   Without you
