Brandy Who I Am

[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]
