Jamelia – Thank You

“Thank You”

[Verse 1:]

The fights, those nights

I tried to pretend it don’t hurt

The way, I prayed

Someday that you would love me

Really, completely

Just how I wanted it to be

But no, so wrong

Can’t believe I stayed with you so long

[B-Chorus:]

You hit, you spit, you split, ever-y bit of me, yeah

You stole, you broke, you’re cold

You’re such a joke to me, yeah

[Chorus:]

For every last bruise you gave me

For every time I sat in tears

For the million ways you hurt me

I just wanna tell you this

You broke my world, made me strong

Thank you

Messed up my dreams, made me strong

Thank you

[Verse 2:]

My head, near dead

Just the way you wanted it

My soul, stone cold

Cos I was under you’re control

So young, so dumb

Knew just how to make me succumb

But I understand

To make yourself feel like a man

[B-Chorus:]

You hit, you spit, you split, ever-y bit of me, yeah

You stole, you broke, you’re cold

You’re such a joke to me, yeah

[Chorus:]

For every last bruise you gave me

For every time I sat in tears

For the million ways you hurt me

I just wanna tell you this

You broke my world, made me strong

Thank you

Messed up my dreams, made me strong

Thank you

[Middle eight:]

You coulda had it all babe

It coulda been so right

I woulda given you everything

Morning through night

Yeah, you taught me some lessons

Those are my blessings

That won’t happen again

Thank you

[Chorus till end]
