I can't believe you're gone

Why'd you leave

Sometimes it hurts so bad

Verse 1:

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 wanna be by his side

but I commit a crime

I need to exclaim

I don't wanna 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

Verse 2:

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 wanna live, or die with you

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

Bridge:

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:

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

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

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
