Guess you never really know just what you 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 to 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 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...

I used to be someone
Who only really tought 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

Your always my priority
And I wanna give you more than all the love you need
Took a little time..
But now you 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...
