I want that place called 'back in the day'
where love wasnt all about *** & foreplay
when it wasnt "oh baby what can I get?"
"I'll do anything for love, please dont leave me yet."
You stole my innocence along with my heart,
tore me to pieces, ripped me apart.
Our love wasnt real just a physical game
you got what you wanted & I'm stuck with the pain.
And now that you've gone theres no one to blame
I swore after you I'd 'never be the same'
I'm lost and alone with no where to go
thank God for the case of Wade versus Roe.
I never told you but now truth comes out
we had a child but no one found out
I walked to that place without you my dear
I took that baby's life as I swallowed the fear.
You left in a hurry, and that's all that I knew
I figured a child would be bothersome to you.
Now I'm a murderer it wasn't worth the cost
two hundred and fifty and that baby was lost.
Now tell me why, darling, that child had to die
all because you left without saying goodbye?
I looked to the heavens and saw a blue sky
&  thought at once that the baby didn't die.
She was somewhere in heaven above the clouds
she was happy as could be I had no doubt
I would've named her Hope and here's why:
she was a lesson I would never let die
and while I'm at it, I'll say goodbye
life without you is a beautiful thing
I can say your name, it no longer stings
I waited so long for this moment to arrive
I'm free from you; not caged, but alive.
And out of this pain I learned how to fly
I let it all go with one quick sigh
pushed you away with one last breath
and my love for you was put to death.
