That Was Then and This Is Now

Guess you never really know you just what you've got
'Till 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 some 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 thеn... this is now
Took some time to figure out
Lovе is all you need
Guess I never really thought about it before
I was thing 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
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 our love to fade ready, willing...
And I'm gonna let it slip away
'Cause you're my girl
