I Wrote This Song lyrics

I can't believe you're gone
Why'd 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?
I want to be by his side
But I commit a crime

I need to exclaim
I don't want to live that way

[Chorus]
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
Now he says he wants out of here

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 want to live, or die with you

[Chorus]

I tried to give him hope
And promised him my life
But I don't know what made him want to leave this life
And as he went away

The tears fell from my eyes
And there's no turning back
There's only goodbye

[Chorus: x2]

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
