Red One, Konvict
One day at a time
Saw you in the club
You were dancing with somebody
So close so tight
You were killing me so slowly
Can drive a man so crazy
Trying to live my life
It's been 6 months since you left me
So I oh I oh I
Still thinking about you baby
I try I try
But I guess I gotta take it
One day at a time
I gotta let you go
One day at a time
It seems so impossible
One day at a time
I gotta let you go
And I know, yes I know
I gotta take it one day at a time
One day, one day, one day
One day at a time
One day, one day, one day
One day at a time
I am not the jealous heart
But you stole my heart baby
Dancing with that guy
Made it so hard for me to watch baby
I just been around running in circle
I'm going through it in my mind baby
Had to suck up the tears from my night strolls
To stop from crying out loud baby
Oh I oh I
Still thinking about you baby
I try I try
Can't stop thinking about you baby
Oh I oh I
I keep thinking about you baby
I try I try
But I guess I gotta take it
One day at a time
Said I gotta let you go
One day at a time
But it seems so impossible
One day at a time
Said I gotta let you go
And I know, and I know
I gotta take it one day at a time
First thing I gotta do is try to face it (try to face it)
But your voice keeps playing in my ear (playing in my ear)
It just makes me crazy trying to fake it (trying to fake it)
The true event's so bad, it's not what I wanna hear
But I guess I gotta take it
One day at a time
I gotta let you go
One day at a time
It seems so impossible
One day at a time
I gotta let you go
And I know, yes I know
I gotta take it one day at a time
One day at a time
Said I gotta let you go
One day at a time
But it seems so impossible
One day at a time
Said I gotta let you go
And I know, yes I know
I gotta take it one day at a time
One day at a time
Said I gotta let you go
One day at a time
But it seems so impossible
One day at a time
Said I gotta let you go
And I know, yes I know
I gotta take it one day at a time

Saw you in the club
I saw you at the club
You were dancing with somebody
You were dancing with someone else
So close so tight
You were dancing very intimately
You were killing me so slowly
Your actions were hurting me emotionally
My friends were telling me what you're doing
My friends were informing me about your actions
Can drive a man so crazy
It can make a person feel insane
Trying to live my life
I'm attempting to move on from you
It's been 6 months since you left me
It has been six months since you ended our relationship
Still thinking about you baby
I'm still constantly thinking of you
I try I try
I'm trying my best
But I guess I gotta take it
But I realize I have to accept it
One day at a time
I have to take things one day at a time
I gotta let you go

But you captured my heart
Made it so hard for me to watch baby
It was difficult for me to see you with someone else
I just been around running in circle
I have been going around in circles
I'm going through it in my mind baby
I'm constantly thinking about it
Had to suck up the tears from my night strolls
I had to hold back my tears during my walks at night
To stop from crying out loud baby
So I wouldn't break down and cry loudly
Still thinking about you baby
I am still constantly thinking of you
Can't stop thinking about you baby
I cannot stop thinking about you
First thing I gotta do is try to face it
The first step is to try to confront my emotions
But your voice keeps playing in my ear
But I keep hearing your voice in my head
It just makes me crazy trying to fake it
It's too difficult to pretend to be okay
The true event's so bad, it's not what I wanna hear
What really happened is so terrible, I don't want to hear it
Said I gotta let you go
I know I have to move on from you

Saw you in the club
