My Joy

This song right here is to
That, that, that person
I won't even mention his name
He said I couldn't do nothing without him

Who are you to tell
That I can't go on without you?
Why you tellin me
I'm never gon' survive?
But once upon a time
Yes, I believed that lie
But sorry no way, no how
You can't control my mind

'Cause if I thought you
Were the end all
It might be all
I woulda never left you alone
And I wouldn't be on my own
And I never never woul've grown

No no no (ain't no way)
You gone (take away)
My joy, my peace, my strength
No no no (ain't no way)
You gone (take away)
My joy, my peace, my strength

Thank you for the times
Of all the pain you gave me
The hate you showed to me
Taught me how to love myself
It's funny how you tried
To break down my pride and my spirit
It doesn't even matter now
'Cause I done moved on with my life

'Cause if I thought you
Were the end all
It might be all
I woulda never left you alone
And I wouldn't be on my own
And I never woulda wrote this song

No no no (ain't no way)
You gone (take away)
My joy, my peace, my strength
No no no (ain't no way)
You gone (take away)
My joy, my peace, my strength

Always no way
No way, no way
Oh no no no
No way, way
No, I'm tellin' you
Can't take away my joy

'Cause if I thought you
Were the end all
It might be all
I woulda never left you alone
No, I wouldn't be on my own
No, I never woulda found faith
No, I never woulda loved again

If I thought you were my
End all (end all)
It might be all
I never woulda found faith
(Never woulda found faith)
I never woulda loved again
(Never woulda loved again)
I never woulda wrote this song

No, talk about it, talk about it
You can't take away my joy
My joy, my joy, my joy
I'm telling you
Can't take away my joy
Joy, joy, joy, joy, joy, joy
Can't take away my joy
My, my, my, my joy, joy
