Guess you never really know
|
Just what you've got
|
'Til you finally realize
|
She could be gone
|
I know that I've been taking you for granted
|
For the longest time
|
All you wanted
|
Was someone who really cares
|
And I didn't even
|
Notice you were there
|
I promise that I'll never ever
|
Make that same mistake not twice
|
|
That was then
|
This is now
|
Took some time to come around
|
All I wanna do
|
Is try again
|
Show you how
|
I know that it's all about
|
Givin' attention to you
|
I was a fool for way too long
|
What you wanted, could not see
|
That was then
|
This is now
|
Took some time to figure out
|
Love is all you need
|
|
Guess I never really thought about it before
|
I was thinkin' of myself
|
And nothing more
|
Didn't even wanna try to find out
|
How you really feel (how you really feel)
|
Now I see
|
That I'm the lucky one
|
It's true
|
And what we've got
|
To know I never want to lose
|
I was trippin' in a fantasy
|
And missing what was real
|
|
That was then
|
This is now
|
Took some time to come around
|
All I wanna do
|
Is try again
|
Show you how
|
I know that it's all about
|
Givin' attention to you
|
I was a fool for way too long
|
What you wanted, could not see
|
That was then
|
This is now
|
Took some time to figure out
|
Love is all you need
|
|
I used to be someone
|
Who only really really though about
|
Themselves and no one else
|
And you could tell baby
|
but that's before
|
I understood
|
That when you've
|
Got something this good
|
Gotta let her know
|
And I want you to know
|
|
You're always my priority
|
And I wanna give you more
|
Than all the love you need
|
Took a little time
|
But now you know I finally see
|
That you're my world (yeah)
|
|
I never want our love to fade ready, willing
|
And I'm gonna do whatever it takes
|
No I'm never gonna let it all slip away
|
'Cause you're my girl, yes you are
|
|
That was then
|
This is now
|
Took some time to come around
|
All I wanna do
|
Is try again
|
Show you how
|
I know that it's all about
|
Givin' attention to you

Comin' around
