That Was Then

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 Giving attention to you I was a fool for way too long What you wanted, I 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 thinking of myself, and nothing more Didn't even wanna try to find out 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 Giving attention to you I was a fool for way too long What you wanted, I 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 thought 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 to you to know You're always my priority And I wanna give more than all the love you need Took a little time... But now you know I finally see That you're my world 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 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 Giving attention to you I was a fool for way too long What you wanted, I could not see That was then... this is now Took some time to figure out Love is all you need You're always my priority And I wanna give more than all the love you need Took a little time...
