All The Befores

(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)



Thought i could make it

Without you

Thought i could walk away

And never look back



Thought i had the secret

To stop these eyes from crying

Told myself he were no good

So what's the need in trying



But as you see, here i am

Loving you stronger than ever

Promising to be better

Getting into my head

I don't know how

To be nothing but yours



I guess i should have learned

From all the befores



I wrote a nice long letter

Explaining my reasons for leaving

Hoping it would tear you apart

And leave you grieving



I bet you didn't even read it

You're so familiar with the lines

You just glanced up at the clock

'cause you knew the exact time i'd knock



Without pride

Here i stand

Waiting for your forgiveness

This is where i belong

Come what may

This time i'll stay

You might as well lock all the doors



I guess i should have learned

From all the befores



Promising to be better

And getting into my head

I don't know how to be nothing but yours



I guess i should have learned

From all the befores
