You’re everything I thought you never were
And nothing like I thought you could have been
But still you live inside of me,
So tell me how is that?

You’re the only one I wish I could forget
The only one I love to not forgive
And though you break my heart,
You’re the only one

And though there are times when I hate you
‘Cause I can’t erase
The times that you hurt me and put tears on my face
And even now, while I hate you,
It pains me to say
I know I’ll be there at the end of the day

I don’t wanna be without you, babe… A’ don’ wuana bi wuidau’ yiu, beib
I don’t want a broken heart… A’ don’ wuan’ a brouken jaar’
Don’t wanna take a breath without you, babe… Don’ wuana teik a bretd wuidau’ yiu, beib
I don’t wanna play that part… A don’ wuana pley dat part
I know that I love you, but let me just say… A’ nou daat a lov yiu, bo’ let mi yos’ sey
I don’t wanna love you in no kind of way, no no… A’ don’ wuana lov yiu in no kain’ of wuey, no no
I don’t want a broken heart
I don’t wanna play the broken-hearted girl… An’ a’ don’ wuana pley de brouken-jared guerl
No, no, no broken-hearted girl… No, no, no brouken-jared guerl
I’m no broken-hearted girl… A’m no brouken-jared guerl
There’s something that I feel I need to say
But up til’ now I’ve always been afraid
That you would never come around
And still I wanna put this out

You say you’ve got the most respect for me
But, sometimes I feel you’re not deserving of me
And still, you’re in my heart
But you’re the only one

And yes, there are times when I hate you,
But I don’t complain
‘Cause I’ve been afraid that you would walk away
Oh, but now I don’t hate you
I’m happy to say
That I will be there at the end of the day

I don’t wanna be without you, babe
I don’t want a broken heart
Don’t wanna take a breath without you, babe
I don’t wanna play that part
I know that I love you, but let me just say
I don’t wanna love you in no kind of way, no no
I don’t want a broken heart
I don’t wanna play the broken-hearted girl
No, no, no broken-hearted girl

Now I’m at a place I thought I’d never be, ooh
I’m living in a world that’s all about you and me, yeah
Ain’t gotta be afraid, my broken heart is free
To spread my wings and fly away, away with you, yeah, yeah, yeah

I don’t wanna be without my baby… A’ don’ wuana bi wuidau’ ma’, beiby
I don’t want a broken heart
Don’t wanna take a breath without my baby… Don’ wuana teik a bretd wuidau’ ma’, beibe
I don’t wanna play that part
I know that I love you, but let me just say
I don’t wanna love you in no kind of way, no no
I don’t want a broken heart
I don’t wanna play the broken-hearted girl
No, no, no broken-hearted girl
Broken-hearted girl… Brouken-jared guerl

No, no, no broken-hearted girl

No broken-hearted girl… No brouken-jared guerl
