How It Used To Be

I ain't gonna lie I can't even count the days Or the many nights I tried living here alone A heart full of pride Couldn't see the enemy was me I was blind and thought my second chance was gone A ship without a sail Battered by the raging sea Taking any love I can to try and stop the rain While waiting to exhale I finally got on my knees I know it's been a long time Do you still remember my name? Can I go back in time? Can I have another try? But I can't change yesterday [Chorus] Oh I Can't take another day without you Cause this heart don't beat the same without you I forgot who I was Got caught up in this world Jesus I apologize I should've lost my mind without you Not another sleepless night without you Jesus I'm sorry and I'm asking please Make us how we used to be I try and try to keep my mind on you But trouble keeps calling me Every time a wound heals Something else takes the healing away But even when I've gone too far You don't even call my name Mama said if you love let it go And if it comes back then it's back to stay You already knew I belong to only you I run to your arms and say [Chorus] Never knew a life so cold Thought that things could fulfill my soul Tried to find love on my own It was hard to admit I was wrong No money, no cars, no fame, no lies, no games my life is taken Now we've come to the break Tell me what you gone say (you gone say) I know (I know) I give my life right But you know You ain't promised tonight Babygirl Without you (I can't breathe) Without you (I can't exist) Without you (This world ain't got nothing for me I'm coming home) [Chorus 2x] --- How It Used to Be - Kirk Franklin
