Hey boy I would have thought that when you left me
I'd be broken with my confidence gone, so gone
Hey boy I would have thought that when you said
That you don't want me
I'd feel ugly and sense something was wrong
Standin' front of the mirror, my skins never been clearer
I look so good without you,
Got me a new hairdo
Looking fresh and brand new
Since you said "that were through"
Done, with your lies,
Baby now my tears dried
You can see my brown eyes
Ever since you said goodbye
I look so good, I look so good without you
I look so good, I look so good without you
Hey I never would have thought that when you left me
I'd feel sexy and so good in my skin again
And I never would have known that I'd be dreamin' so much better without you in my head
Standin' in front of the mirror, my clothes never fit better
My, I've never been louder
I look so good without you
Got me a new hairdo
Looking fresh and brand new
Since you said "that were through"
Done, with your lies
Baby now my tears dried
You can see my brown eyes
Ever since you said goodbye.
I look so good, I look so good without you
I look so good, I look so good without you.
Now baby my bodys lookin' better than before
Ain't bitin' my nails since you walked out of the door.
I realized now I deserve so much more, than what you give
Than what you give, ohh ohh
I look so good without you
Got me a new hairdo
Looking fresh and brand new
Since you said "that were through"
I look so good without you,
Got me a new hairdo
Looking fresh and brand new
Since you said "that were through"
Done, with your lies
Baby now my tears dried
You can see my brown eyes
Ever since you said goodbye
I look so good without you
Got me a new hairdo
Lookin' fresh and brand new
Since you said "that we're through"
Done, with your lies
Baby now my tears dried
You can see my brown eyes
Ever since you said goodbye
I look so good, I look so good without you
I look so good, I look so good without you

Mh yeah
Boy I would have thought that,
When you left me I'd be broken,
With my confidence gone,
So gone.
Hey boy I would have thought that
When you said that you don't want me
I'd feel ugly as if something was wrong
Standin' in front of the mirror
My skin's never been clearer
My smile's never been whiter
I look so good without you
Got me a new hair do
Lookin' fresh and brand new
Since you said that we were through
Done with your lies
Baby now my tears dry
You can see my brown eyes
Ever since you said goodbye
I look so good
I look so good without you
I look so good
I look so good without you
Hey I never would have thought that
When you left me
I'd feel sexy and so good in my skin again
And I never would have known that
I'd be dreaming so much better
Without you in my head
Standin' in front of the mirror
My clothes never fit better
My laughs never been louder
I look so good without you
Got me a new hair do
Lookin' fresh and brand new
Since you said that we were through
Done with your lies
Baby now my tears dry
You can see my brown eyes
Ever since you said goodbye
I look so good
I look so good without you
I look so good I look so good without you
Now baby my body's lookin' better than before
Ain't biting my nails since you walked out of that door
I realize now I deserve so much more
Than what you give
Than what you give
Than what you give oh
I look so good without you
Got me a new hair do
Lookin' fresh and brand new
Since you said that we were through
Done with your lies
Baby now my tears dry
You can see my brown eyes
Ever since you said goodbye

When my ex and I broke up I couldn't stop listening to this. I was smiling more, talking more, and honestly sleeping better. I thought I would've been so upset but I was happier than ever. We broke up after almost a year.. And now I found someone new and he's the best!

This song got me through a REALLY bad break-up and literally as soon as it happened I was crying, sobbing really for a good hour or two, and I found this song and I stood up, wiped my tears away, I put on a nice outfit and did my hair really pretty, and damn I looked so good without him.
