Sometimes a man has to choose

And do something he doesn't want to do

Do I live my life with you as my wife

Or do I go on and pursue my lifetime dream

I gotta do this for me

'Cause if I don't I'll probably regret it

But if I do I'll probably regret it

How do I cope

How do you cope when

The one you love is with somebody else

And there's nothing you could do about it

How do I deal with

The fact that you had a chance

But you chose to turn away for your career

I gotta take it though it's heartbreakin'

It's something that I had to do

But nobody said that it would hurt so bad

So how do I live, how do I deal without you

It's killing me to know

That your heart hurts with me

But you're with him cause I chose

To be in this industry

Money, shows, and hoes come along with luxury and pain

Is all you see when you think about it

But this is the life that I was given

So I have to live it to the fullest

But how do I deal in the meantime without you

How do you cope when

The one you love is with somebody else

And there's nothing you could do about it

How do I deal with

The fact that you had a chance

But you chose to turn away for your career

I gotta take it though it's heartbreakin'

It's something that I had to do

But nobody said that it would hurt so bad

So how do I live, how do I deal without you
