Who I Am by Brandy

Chorus:

Thank you for all the tears, all the stress
Your the best, I feel blessed
I'm a better woman now
Look how I smile
All you did was help the next man
Cause this experience made me who I am

1st Verse:

I tried to make me love
I tried to make me stay
but everytime I tried myself and I got in the way
and just for the sake of my daughter
I tried to stick to the plan
but I had to get rid of the weight on my fourth finger left hand
to everybody listening sorry if your disappointed
you see the life I chose was only what I thought wanted
nothing is picture perfect, looks can be deceiving
what I thought was love was something I did not believe in

Chorus:

thank you for all the tears, all the stress
your the best, I feel blessed
I'm a better woman now
look how I smile
all you did was help the next man
cause this experience made me who I am

2nd Verse:

I always had that feeling that baby boy was cheating
I kept telling myself if you ain't happy Brand just leave him
I wasn't raised to quit, cause quitters never win
but what do you gain if you feel incomplete within
sick of all the questions, all the whats and whys
what happened, why yall breakup, why we never see you cry??
but do you know how it feels to hurt behind closed doors
when you go outside, you're wondering what you're smilin for

Chorus:

thank you for all the tears, all the stress
your the best, I feel blessed
I'm a better woman now
look how I smile
all you did was help the next man
cause this experience made me who I am
