Breaking

Lakyshia Shelton-Hubert 1988

I thought I could hold it together
I thought I could move on
I'm breaking everyday
I thought it would be easy
to erase you out my heart
I thought I could stand another day
I'm breaking more and more
I thought you couldn't hurt me
I thought I could handle the pain
But baby I'm breaking every
second that pass by
I thought I'll forget about you
I thought this could be true
I'm breaking at the thought of you
loving someone else
I thought I could get you out my head
I thought I wouldn't go insane
I'm breaking every chain
I thought I didn't need you
Baby these words I speak is true
I'm losing my mind not having you
I'm breaking down without you
