That Was Then Lyrics

Song Text:

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 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 to lose
I was trippin' in a fantasy...
And missing what was real

CHORUS

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 we've got something this good
Gotta let her know...
And I want to you 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 slip away
'cause you're my girl

CHORUS
