Lyrics

I never cried so hard
as the night you left me baby
I never had a clue
And it took a real long time to
stop the hurting baby
But finally I?m over you
So of course your back and suggesting
maybe its time to try again
Just don?t expect me to jump so quickly
cause I remember when

CHORUS
You were the one who left me lonely
You were the one who broke my heart
You?ve got a lot nerve to show up here
expecting?
I?d be ready to make a brand new start

After you left me
Lord how my strength was tested baby
Somehow I made it through
Then on the other side of my survival
baby?
I felt alive and new? and unlike you
Once again I could look around me
The world was not so hard
You said you wanted to see me happy
So watch me from afar
Cause

CHORUS
You were the one who left me lonely
You were the one who broke my heart
You?ve got a lot nerve to show up here
expecting?
I?d be ready to make a brand new start

BRIDGE
I?ll bet you think you know me well
Cause you act like you think I already
fell
But I stopped falling that moment you
stopped calling me

SOLO

CHORUS
You were the one who left me lonely
You were the one who broke my heart
You?ve got a lot nerve to show up here
expecting?
I?d be ready to make a brand new start
I?d be ready to make a brand new start
