LYRICS
Thought you could take away a part of me, that I'd never lost
I'm moving on so gracefully, with no extra cost
Cause you and I were never forever
You thought you could provoke this stormy weather
Cause I will find a better lover than you
For all the pain I went through
Now I know I'm worth more than you deserve and I'm gonna put myself first
So you thought that I would cry but these tears will dry
and I'll be moving on
For all my life, I've tried and tried to please everyone
Cause you and I were never forever
You thought you could provoke this stormy weather
Cause I will find a better lover than you
For all the pain I went through
Now I know I'm worth more than you deserve and I'm gonna put myself first
Cause I know I'm fine, to live my life without you around
Cause in time I'll find, I'm happy to be where I am
This life's divine and I'll be alright
Cause I will find a better lover than you
For all the pain I went through
Now I know I'm worth more than you deserve and I'm gonna put myself first
