Said she gave you everything

She broke her back to be

What you need

I tried so long to just compete

Can't take no more

Losin' sight of me

I'm lettin' you know this can't go on this one way street

I'm walkin' alone

This time I'm breakin' free

I'm goin' to find me

I can't sit and be passive

Won't tolerate no more

That's it

I tried so hard to be

What you wanted me to be

If it can't be 50/50

Then know that it don't fit me

I can't give you all that's in me

'Cause baby that's not me

Don't want you to think that I'm selfish

I'm just sick of your one track mess of you can't meet me

Halfway I think it's time that you be on your way

I love you but I can't baby

If it's yo mama you want

You know just what to do

I looked in the mirror

Everyday I saw myself

Fading away

You tryin' to mold be into her

I loved you so

I put you first but I can't live my life this way

I can't sit and be passive

Won't tolerate no more

That's it

I tried so hard to be

What you wanted me to be

If it can't be 50/50

Then know that it don't fit me

I can't give you all that's in me

'Cause baby that's not me

I was so lost in love before I couldn't see the light

But now I'm strong enough to leave you now

So you better treat me right

Don't wanna throw it all away

So baby

Here's your last chance

Don't wanna fight with you

But I need more of you

Give me all

Or it's the end

I cooked, I cleaned

I washed your clothes

You were so mean, so ungrateful at night

I cried so many times

Tell me how could you go diss me

When you know one day you'll miss me

If it can't be 50/50

Then baby that's not me

I can't, I won't, I can't, won't
