How It Used to Be



Kirk Franklin



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, you couldn't see the enemy was me

I was blind and thought my second chance was gone



A ship without a sail, battered 1 by a raging 2 sea

Taking any love I can to try and stop the rain

While waiting to exhale 3, 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 4 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 5 heals 6

Something else takes the healing 7 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 know 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



Never knew a life so cold

Thought that things could fulfill 8 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 gonna say, I know

I give my life right, but You know

You ain't promised tonight, baby girl



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



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

Make us how we used to be
