[chorus]    Thank you for all the tears, all the stress    You're the best    I feel blessed    I'm a better woman now    Look how I smile    All you did was help the next man    Cause this experience made me who I am       I tried to make me love ya    I tried to make me stay    But every time I tried, myself and I got in the way    And just for the sake of my daughter    I tried to stick to the plan    But I had to get rid of the weight on my fourth finger, left hand       To everybody listenin'    Sorry if you're disappointed    You see the life I chose was only what I thought I wanted    Nothing's picture perfect    Looks can be deceivin'    But what I thought was love was something I could not believe in       [chorus]       I always had that feelin'    The baby boy was cheatin'    I kept tellin' myself, "if you ain't happy Brand, just leave him"    I wasn't raised to quit    Cause quitters never win    But what do you gain, if you feel incomplete within       I'm sick of all the questions    All the words and why's    What happened, why'd y'all break up, why we never see you cry    But do you know how it feels    To hurt behind closed doors    And when you go outside, you're wonderin' why you're smilin' for       [chorus]       Now that it's over I can live    Now all you had belongs to him    My heart is open like a book    And everything he eats I cook       What I'm to him, he is to me    We are each other's everything    But if I would've stayed with you    I wouldn't have it like I do       [chorus 2x]
