Save your breath, don't even speak on me now

You and your friends, ran my name to the ground

You left me then, so I figured it out

Save your tongue, don't even give me a call

If I was a bum, you wouldn't call me at all

I don't say it enough, I'm gettin' tired of y'all

Oh, you say you're so happy for me

That you always knew what I would be

Where was the love when it was needed?

Oh, you say that now I'm all you see

And you always saw the light in me

Where was the light when it was needed?

Why you feel the need to apologize to me?

Some may call it out, I just call it how I see

Loved me when you knew me

You just ain't want anybody to know

I changed my number twice and you called again

Heard that I was movin' and asked all my friends where to

If I don't wanna be close, it's nothing personal

Oh, you say you're so happy for me

Said you always knew what I would be

Where was the love when it was needed?

Oh, you say that now I'm all you see

And you always saw the light in me

Where was the light when it was needed?

I don't want a reason you didn't believe in me

That's your decision, don't get me wrong

I know you'd come around over time, time, time, time, time

I don't need your blessing

Don't need you protestin' how I live my life

I'm tryin', I'm fine

Oh, you say you're so happy for me

That you always knew what I would be

Where was the love when it was needed?

Oh, you say that now I'm all you see

And you always saw the light in me

Where was the light when it was needed?
