Uh uh
Oh oh
Uh uh
Oh oh
Yours was the perfect love
I swear it was
Until i had your love, my world was cold
I did what most men do, and i messed it up
But when i got you back, my world was whole
The player thing i let it go (yeah)
Thought our life was set in stone
But it wasn't, and i'm here alone
Nothing is in front of me
I feel i can't even breathe
Don't think that i can handle this
Baby i'm so
I'm so in agony
Look at the state of me
Left here broken
You said you'd never leave
Look what you've done to me
Left here broken
Where do i go from here
I'm so lost
Do you know how hard it is
Fighting my way through this
It shouldn't even be like this
I shouldn't have to feel like this
No, no, no
Can't even have company
Nobody can talk to me
I'm messed up
All that i find myself doing
Looking through my gallery
Drowning in my memories
I hate you for doing this to me
Girl i'm so
I'm so in agony
Never felt like this in my life
Look at the state of me
Left here broken(broken)
You said you'd never leave
Look what you've done to me(oh)
Left here broken
(ooh)
I'm so in agony
Look at the state of me(yeah)
Left here broken(broken)
You said you'd never leave
Look what you've done to me(oh)
Left here broken
(broken, broken, broken)
I never thought i'd feel this low down in my life
I swear
(broken, broken, broken)
Everyday i wished that it was me that had died and i'm
I'm so in agony
(so in agony)
Look at the state of me
(look at the state of me babe)
Left here broken
