Kirk Franklin - How It Used To Be lyrics

rate me

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

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

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

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)

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

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
