I cried the day you left me and I still don't know what kept me
From jumping off the highest bridge I know
My poor heart was breaking, I felt lower than a snake an'
That is just about the lowest you can go
I finally stopped my drinking, fell down and started thinking
That it don't pay to relive yesterday
I tried to hide my sorrow, started living for tomorrow
I think I'm gonna make it all the way

You hurt me and abused me, took advantage of and used me
I swear it almost made a wreck of me
When I needed your devotion, you were never in the notion
You were colder than an iceberg in the sea
Love to you had lost it's splendor, my pride went out the window
When you left me, I kept begging you to stay
But now my heart is healing, and I got a real good feeling
I think I'm gonna make it all the way

My troubles came in bunches, I kept rolling with the punches
You'd shoot me down and I'd get back again
I tried to be your lover, in no time I did discover
Your loving cup was not for me to win
Your kisses weren't the same but I kept trying to fan the flame
Till I just couldn't face another day
You can't blame me for trying, now I stopped my crying
I think I'm gonna make it all the way

I tried my best to fake it, but a smiling face don't make it
'Cause in my heart, I knew there was no hope
Each place reminded me of the memories of your love
Come right to the end of my rope
That's when I met my new friend, she's just a passing true friend
Treats me like her love is here to stay
And it's working out real well now, you can go to hell now
This time I'm gonna make it all the way

Yes, this time I'll make it all the way
Yes, I think I'm gonna make it all the way
Baby, get out of my way
