That Was Then

[Verse 1]

Guess you never really know 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 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, but could not see

That was then... this is now

Took some time to figure out

Love is all you need

[Verse 2]

Guess I never 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 you know I never want to lose

I was trippin' in a fantasy...

And missing what was real

[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, but could not see

That was then...this is now

Took some time to figure out

Love is all you need

[Verse 3]

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

[Bridge]

You're always my priority

And I wanna give more that 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]

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, but could not see

That was then... this is now

Took some time to figure out

Love is all you need
