My Joy

Who are you to tell me that I cant go on without you
Why you tellin me I'm never gonna survive
But once upon a time yes I believed that lie
But sorry no way no how you can't control my mind

'Cause if I thought you were the end all it might be alright
I would've never left you alone and I wouldn't be on my own
And I never never woulda grown
No no ain't no way you gone take away
My joy, my peace, my strength
No no ain't no way you gone take away
My joy, my peace, my strength

Thank you for the times of all the pain you gave me
The hate you showed to me taught me how to love myself
It's funny how you tried to break down my pride and my spirit
It doesn't even matter now 'cause I done moved on with my life

'Cause if I thought you were the end all it might be alright
I would've never left you alone and I wouldn't be on my own
And I never never woulda wrote this song
No no ain't no way you gone take away
My joy, my peace, my strength
No no ain't no way you gone take away
My joy, my peace, my strength
