I heard through the grapevine
That you weren't doing fine
I hate to admit
I was glad of it
It took me so long to get on track
Putting all the pieces of myself back
After you just left
I was in hells depths
I was never sure if I'd make it through
Took years to find happiness, it's true
I had my pride
Hurt..I could not hide
'Being on your own for all the right'
'Than being with someone for the wrong' I held tight
That motto got me through
The darkest times of you
A painful memory that's etched in my mind
Torment is all you would happily provide
I hated myself
It affected my health
In a club I went over to you, just to say Hi
You cold flat blanked me, I wanted to die
The humiliation and heartbreak
In front of others, I couldn't take
You belittled me, ground me down to the core
Enjoying my anguish, you just did it some more
One day I'd had enough
Standing up to you was tough
Now all these years later, I'm hearing your sad
Thank God for that, I'm so happy and glad
'What goes around
Comes around'...you've found
So I've sent it back through the grapevine
How wonderful I am, I'm great, I'm fine
Bet you'll be surprised by that
That my life is back on track!
