Lyrics

Ooh, I gave you my mornings, I gave you my nights,

Built you a kingdom, baby, made it shine so bright.

But when a queen's crown falls, and love fades away,

You'll see what it means when I walk away.

You said, "Girl, I can stand on my own,"

But every man forgets the love he's known.

You took my heart, you took my care,

And left me waiting, standing there.

I washed your dreams, kept your faith alive,

Fed your hope so it could survive.

But now that I'm gone, you see the cost,

All that fire, baby, you lost.

You thought the world was yours to claim,

Forgot the woman behind your name.

While you were chasing your golden throne,

You never saw how much you'd grown, through me.

'Cause without me, there's no song in your day,

Without me, that sunshine fades away.

I was the rhythm to your melody,

Now you're just a lonely symphony, without me.

I ain't bitter, no, I ain't cold,

But I know the worth of the love I hold.

A queen ain't made to bow or break,

She's made to rise from her own heartbreak.

You called me "baby," then "just a girl,"

But I was the one who shaped your world.

You see it now, in that empty chair,

That love was power, and I was there.

Now I walk with my head held high,

No tears left, no need to cry.

The crown you dropped, I picked it clean,

Ain't no slave, I'm a reigning queen.

Ooooh, you'll remember me,

When the nights turn cold and the lights can't see.

Every little thing that you thought was free

You'll know what you lost, baby, without me.

Your coffee's cold, your shirt's undone,

You whisper my name when the day's begun.

The mirror talks, but it won't lie,

You see my strength where your heart should lie.

You walk those streets, proud and tall,

But the echo whispers through it all.

The man you were was half of two,

And the better half, darling, was me, not you.

I gave you my love like a sweet refrain,

Soothed your soul through joy and pain.

But freedom sings a brighter song,

And now I know where I belong.

So I'll dance alone in my satin shoes,

Sing my story in midnight blues.

The world will hear what love can be,

When a woman stands in dignity.

And if someday, you call my name,

I'll smile, but I won't play that game.

'Cause now I see, so clear, so true,

Without me, baby, there's no you.

Without me, your heart can't find its key,

Without me, your soul ain't free.

I was your river, your sky, your sea

And now I'm gone,

Just me, finally me.
