Description

A classic heartbreak song, during which you find strength in yourself.
Long Song Description:
In a way, I guess you could say this is a country twist on Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive." It's about losing the love of your life, but through it, finding strength in yourself to move on.

Lyrics
-- Instrumental version also available --

He left a note on the pillow
Said he won't be coming home
That he never made a promise
To me, now's he free
How can I just let it be

It never crossed my mind
I'd run out of time
And I wouldn't be the one
He would choose to love
I must have been half blind
Cause I didn't see goodbye
Or that I would be the one left behind
It never crossed my mind

Tore in half all the pictures
Gave away all his things
With every tear of a portrait
A bitter sting a broken dream
Purge my soul of memories

I won't be holding on I'm done I'm through
I won't waste one more breath or one more tear on you

But it never crossed my mind
He'd come back this time
He says that I'm the one
He would choose to love
But I think that I'll move on
'Cause this wound has made me strong
And to think that I'm the one to say goodbye
It never crossed my mind
