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

Chorus:
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

Chorus: Repeat

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 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 out 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
