(And Then It Comes to me like an epiphany)

It's Over
It's Over

[Verse 1:]
Second night in a row
You didn't come home
I'm watching my phone
Waiting for it to ring

Sitting on the couch with the TV on
All night all alone
Every night same old thing

[Chorus:]
So I think I'm just about over being your girlfriend
I'm leaving, I'm leaving
No I wonder what you've been doin
Where you been sleeping
(it's over)
I'm leaving
I'm leaving

[Verse 2:]
So you walk in
The next morning
To find me smiling,
Like nothing ever happened

You give me some excuse
Like you always do
I just kiss your cheek
And this is what I tell you (you, you)

[Chorus:]
So I think I'm just about over being your girlfriend
I'm leaving, I'm leaving
No I wonder what you've been doin
Where you been sleeping
(it's over)
I'm leaving
I'm leaving

[Bridge:]
How many times did I fall for your lies
How many times did I fall down and cry
Never questioning why? why? why? why?
It just came to me
Like an epiphany
How about if I just leave-e-e-e

[Chorus:]
So I think I'm just about over being your girlfriend
I'm leaving, I'm leaving
No I wonder what you've been doin
Where you been sleeping
(it's over)
I'm leaving
I'm leaving

[Verse 1:]
I'm feelin you, you feelin me
But still we can't be together
I got a feelin'
You got these same feelins
Too bad we can't feel 'em together

I sit on my bed and wonder
How it'd be if you were mine
I think of you like no other
Here's what I do every night...

[Chorus:]
Write in my notebook
X's and O's
Beside your name
Only my notebook knows how I feel
My heart is on every page

Oh oh oh oh (feel a little like)
Oh oh oh oh (love a little like)
Oh oh oh oh (feel a little like)
Hey hey

Oh oh oh oh (feel a little like)
Oh oh oh oh (love a little like)
Oh oh oh oh (feel a little like)
Hey hey

[Verse 2:]
Do you have any idea
How hard it is to act like you don't mean a thing and
This chemistry between you & me
I wanna share with everyone (OH!)
All I can do is just write down every emotion I feel
Hopefully one day you'll find out
My love for you is real(So)

[Chorus:]
Write in my notebook
X's and O's
Beside your name
Only my notebook knows how I feel
My heart is on every page

Oh oh oh oh (feel a little like)
Oh oh oh oh (love a little like)
Oh oh oh oh (feel a little like)
Hey hey

Oh oh oh oh (feel a little like)
Oh oh oh oh (love a little like)
Oh oh oh oh (feel a little like)
Hey hey

[Bridge:]
So many times I must have loved & lost (I've patched up every one)
So many times I've let love walk by (I've let love go by)
This time's it's going to be different (it's gonna be different this time)
Take my notebook
Read everything in my mind
So I...

[Chorus:]
Write in my notebook
X's and O's
Beside your name
Only my notebook knows how I feel
My heart is on every page

Oh oh oh oh (feel a little like)
Oh oh oh oh (love a little like)
Oh oh oh oh (feel a little like)
Hey hey

Oh oh oh oh (feel a little like)
Oh oh oh oh (love a little like)
Oh oh oh oh (feel a little like)
Hey hey

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Hey hey [repeat until fade]

(feat. Ne-Yo)

Say it with your actions
Saying those words to me
Doesn't mean a thing to me
I don't wanna hear them
Baby you can keep those three
You might as well not even speak

[Chorus:]
Many different times before
You were almost out the door
Then you'd say it
And I'd forget everything
Well I'm sorry to report
That's not working anymore
Now I need to see if that's really what you mean
No more "I'm sorry"
"I love you"
I need proof
Baby boy it's all in what you do
(no more)I love you
If it's true baby boy
It's all in what you do

Say it with your actions
Say it in the way you touch
And the things that you do for us
I don't wanna be mean
But when it comes to this love
Saying it ain't enough

[Chorus]

It's in what you
It's it's in what you do
It's in what you
It's all in what you do

No more "I'm sorry"
"I love you"
I need proof
Baby boy it's all in what you do
(No more)I love you
(Baby) If it's true baby boy
It's all in what you do

It's in what you
It's it's in what you do
It's in what you
It's all in what you do

Sometimes you can work it out
Sometimes you can't
Sometimes you [? ]
Sometimes leaving is easy
Sometimes it ain't
Sometimes it hurts to know the loving you had was slowly fading away

[Chorus:]
You can say whatever you like
As long as we just say goodbye
BLAME IT ON ME
Say it's my fault
Say that I left you outside in the cold with a broken heart
I really don't care
I ain't crying no more
Say I'm a liar a cheater
Say anything that you want
As long as it's over

I ain't a quiter
I just ain't the type
I tried to see you through
I tried to make it to the finishing line
Oooh you thought it was meant to be yeah
I admit so did I
Every once in a while you think you figured it out
Sometimes your not right

[Chorus]

Yes I love you but I really got to loose you
Freedom is where I want to be
Yes I'll probably always love you
But I'm moving
I got to do this for me

[Chorus x2]

naturally you and me we have a bit of jealousy i might ask why she called you might ask who is he but i could never think of letting go aint no other man that can have me no way no how no circumstance if you thought about it no think again baby slow ya row you aint leavin me no i aint lettin you go all i ever think about is you

Verse 1
I ain't that stereotypical woman
Singin' bout a man that's gone
And cryin' while I look out the window
It's easy to move on
I don't care if he calls no more, whoa oh

At least that's what I tell myself to make it through
The days and nights alone here when I'm missin' you
I'm tryin' not to trip but I don't feel comfortable
Cuz every time I go to turn on the radio

CHORUS
They're playin our song
Every time that I hear it
My heart wants to jump out of my chest doin such a rush
They're playin' our song and my whole body feels it
it's cryin' out baby,baby,baby,baby,baby

They're playin' our song
oh,oh,oh,oh (2x)
They're playin' our song

I ain't that every girl that's brokenhearted
Waitin' for a telephone call
And holdin' so tight to my pillow
See life really started the moment that you left me alone whoa,oh,oh

At least that's what I tell myself to make it through
The days and nights alone here when I'm missin' you
I try not to trip but I don't feel comfortable
Every time I go to turn on the radio

CHORUS

VAMP
Don't think that I'm waistin' my time
Cryin' and wishin' you could be mine
Got my feelings under control til I turn on the radio

CHORUS (2x)

They're playin' our song Oh,oh,oh,oh,oh (4x)

They're playin' our song, oh yeah

I'm Done, Done, Done

Verse 1

Riddle me this, When you be wit yo friends, laughing and joking and loud talking
Why you get quiet soon as I walk in the room?
Riddle me this, You be going out wit yours, but expect me to stay in doors
You don't ever want me to hang out wit my crew

Baby I'm a grown woman dealing wit grown woman things
So if you're gonna stay my man, some things gonna have to change

Chorus

Cause I'm so done with all the not knowing
So over wondering what you've done, I'm bout to be on to another one (On to another one)
So over being so over, So done with not having any fun (not having any fun)
I'm bout to be on to another one (on to another one)

Verse 2

Cause I don't play games, ya friends come around you don't act the same
Kissing and hugging then suddenly I'm bugging you (suddenly I'm bugging you)
Well baby that ain't cool, cause I all do, is stay catering to you boy
But you don't wanna treat me like you supposed too

Baby I'm a grown woman dealing wit grown woman thangs (grown woman thangs)
So if you wanna stay my man, some things gonna have to change

Chorus

Cause I'm so done with all the not knowing
So over wondering what you've done, I'm bout to be on to another one (On to another one)
So over being so over, So done with not having any fun (not having any fun)
I'm bout to be on to another one (On to another one)

Bridge

No more, fooling with you, with you (No more)
I've realized I've got better things to do
Like on to another one...

Oh oh oh ohhohh ohhhhh ohhhh

Chorus

Cause I'm so done with all the not knowing
So over wondering what you've done, I'm bout to be on to another one (On to another one)
So over being so over, So done with not having any fun (not having any fun)
I'm bout to be on to another one (On to another one)

I'm bout to be on to another one, I'm done done done
I'm done done done

Never came across anything u couldn't handle
No matter the problem you were always there
My superhero
Tho I love for it all
I'm a women
I'm a grown-up
And that means
You gotta let me fall and learn to get up
On my own

On my own
Can't let u in now
Gotta be alone
On my own
Gotta fight this battle
Alone
On my own

I know your gonna care about me forever
How will I ever learn the price of my heart
If your always it's protector
You can't make him love me right
Make him treat me
The way he should
I love you but this my fight
Let me fight it
On my own

On my own
Can't let u in now
Gotta be alone
On my own
Gotta fight this battle
Alone
On my own

On my own
Can't let u in now
Gotta be alone
On my own
Gotta fight this battle
Alone
On my own

On My own

On my own

On my own

It’s a long shot, but I'm feeling kinda of bold
when I saw you then my heart its in full control
Can we go, ooooh baby, somewhere we can get to know each other

I'm kind of anxious; see Im not the kind of girl that would do this, Im so far outside my world
But if I don't, I don't tell you baby, it'll kill me to never know, oooh

Chorus:
Don't leave me (Don't leave me)
I wanna live(I wanna live)
Can you see me (Can you see me)
Here on the edge (Here on the edge)
Boy don’t tell me no, don’t tell me no
While my heart is fragile, oooooh
La la la la la la la la oh oh fragile (x4)
lalalalalalalal eh

Boy dont tell me no, dont tell me no
While my heart is fragile

I ain’t begging, that ain’t ever been my style, something is different when I’m looking in your eyes

I lose, I lose my cool baby, the closer that you get to me ooohh

I can't take another second, ohh I’m jumping out my skin, if loving is the game, then boy you got to let me win oooh baby, baby, baby, its like I cant barely breathe
No no no no no no!

Chorus:
Don't leave me (Don't leave me)

Whoa Oh Oh Oh
Whoa Oh Oh oh

Verse
No I’ve never been ashamed
Or afraid to speak my mind
I’m the type of girl
That’s gonna’ say what I don’t like
I know I can be a handful
Sometimes I run my mouth
I’m used to being in control
Decide on what goes down

Well I met my match
Plus your more of a man
Than I ever had (Ooh Ooh Ooh)
This table’s turned and
I can’t find the words
To describe how good it hurts

Chorus
You are
(You are)
My Mr. Right
(You got me weak, you got me weak, you got me weak)
I can’t even fight
(Oh Oh Oh)
One touch and I’m paralyzed
(I can’t think, I can’t move, I can’t speak)
And I’m convinced your love is mine
Mr. Right (You got me weak, you got me weak)
Mr. Right (Can’t move, I can’t think, I can’t speak)
Mr. Right (You got me weak, you got me weak)
Mr. Right (Can’t move, I can’t think, I can’t speak)

Verse 2
My defenses are so useless
I don’t even have the power
I’m falling more for you with every minute, every hour
My friends will find it funny
If they could see me now
Cause there’ll so used to me running the show
When I’m around

Yes I met my match (Oh)
Plus your more of a man (Oh)
Than I ever had (Ooh Ooh Ooh)
This table’s turned (Oh)
And I can’t find the words (Oh)
To describe how good it hurts

Chorus:
You are
(You are)
My Mr. Right
(You got me weak, you got me weak, you got me weak)
I can’t even fight
(Oh Oh Oh)
One touch and I’m paralyzed
(I can’t think, I can’t move, I can’t speak)
And I’m convinced your love is mine
Mr. Right (You got me weak, you got me weak)
Mr. Right (Can’t move, I can’t think, I can’t speak)
Mr. Right (You got me weak, you got me weak)
Mr. Right (Can’t move, I can’t think, I can’t speak)

Bridge
I’m changing my ways
Maybe I’ll get in
You might be the man
Mr. Right, Mr. Right

Chorus
You are
(You are)
My Mr. Right
You got me weak, you got me weak, you got me weak)
And I can’t even fight
(Oh Oh Oh)
One touch and I’m mesmerized
(I can’t think, I can’t move, I can’t speak)
I’m convinced your love is mine
Mr. Right (You got me weak, you got me weak)
Mr. Right (I can’t move, I can’t eat, I can’t sleep)
Mr. Right (You got me weak, you got me weak)
Mr. Right (I can’t eat, I can’t sleep)

(talking)I cant even believe we're having this conversation again...oh my god.
Here's the thing
I need you to stop treatin me as if i'm simple or naive.
As if i dont know nothing bout the world.
I understand you think you protecting me, but I could use a little room to breathe
and the re-spect you give a woman not a girl..
Here's the thing
I appreciate all the love
the constant catering kisses and hugs
but lately im wondering what you do it for
If the reason you act all over sweet is cause you want to keep me on a leash.
I have no choice but to show you the door.
(Chorus x2)
If you want to cradle me like a little girl
and lock me down
im not your possession
Im a full grown woman I am not your porcelain doll
(repeat)
Here's the thing you wanna put me in fancy clothes
and take me everywhere you go
and show me off to all your fancy friends...
Well here's the thing
I really dont mind the clothes
I love a nice dress with some open toes
But a trophy im not, So baby think again..
(Hey) and Here's the thing
You always wanna hold my hand
and say things to me like im the man So let me do what a man's suppose to do
Well here's the thing you can be the man all the while
understanding i am not a child
You're a man for sure, but baby im grown too..
Hey Hey
(chorus repeat x2)
If you want to cradle me like a little girl
and lock me down
im not your possession
Im a full grown woman I am not your porcelain dollIf you want to cradle me like a little girl
and lock me down
im not your possession
Im a full grown woman I am not your porcelain doll
(Hook) said you gotta respect me totally
otherwise im goin up and leave
and baby I know you dont want me to do that.
So you gotta respect me totally, so when I say back up off of me
just kiss my cheek and when I leave move back..
(Chorus repeat x2)
If you want to cradle me like a little girl
and lock me down
im not your possession
Im a full grown woman I am not your porcelain doll

im a full grown woman i am not your porcelain doll
one more time
im a full grown woman i am not your porcelain doll

1st Verse
Time don't stop and wait for pain
Pain does fade away in time
Guess it all was just a game
When you gave your heart and I gave mine

CHORUS
I'm okay (I'm okay)
I'm just fine
We fade away, hardly crossed my mind

I'm okay (I'm okay)
My memories, they comfort me
Thoughts of what we used to be

2nd Verse
Must admit you had me fooled
The love felt real, I can't deny
I really wish I did not know the truth
So I could go back to that lovely lie

CHORUS

VAMP
Any lonely hearts when I breath (lonely hearts, when I breath)
I can't feel it til I take a breath (take a breath)
And I'm holding on to these false memories
Cause that's all, all that I've got left

CHORUS
(repeat til end)
