Lyrics: Monica. After The Storm. I Wrote This Song.

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
