Lyrics

Never Would Have Made It

[Intro] Never would have made it Never would have made it without you [Chorus] You are the highlight of my life You are the sunshine in my night Oh how, oh how, oh, how do I Ever repay you [Verse] Finally, I know what I want I learned from my mistakes and my heartbreaks The road to hell was paved with good intentions No matter which way you, no matter which way you take [Pre-Chorus] Never truly follow my heart Made a lot of decisions based on everyone but me But now, I'm strong enough to let it go I'm wise enough to take control My mama told me everything My mama told me everything I know [Chorus] You are the highlight of my life You are the sunshine in my night Oh how, oh how, oh, how do I Ever repay you [Bridge] Stand up, press forward, move on Don't cry, we'll make it through the night For sure [Chorus] You are the highlight of my life You are the sunshine in my night Oh how, oh how, oh, how do I Ever repay you [Outro] Never would have made it Never would have made it without you Mommy? Yes? Move forward
