The Next Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I didn't give as much as take
That was my first mistake
I learned my lesson much too late
But you wounded heart wouldn't wait
Until I saw the answers
Were right there in your eyes
But now I know the answers
I've learned to compromise
The next time
I swear I'll take each moment
And weight it in my hand
Try to understand the other side
Not just mine
My love won't be blind
The next time
There'll be a happy ending
Cause now my heart can see
How lonely right can be
I wish there didn't have to be
A next time
I'm getting stronger everyday
But I'd wish the past away
If I could convince your heart to stay
If I could just find a way
To let you see I'm changing
And show you who I am
It's up to me to change things
I promise that I can
Give me a chance to show you (the next time)
Give me a chance
I swear I'll come through
The next time
I'm gonna take each precious moment
And hold it in my hand
I'll understand your feelings
Not just mine
I won't be so blind
The next time
There's gonna be a happy ending
Cause now my heart can see
How lonely right can be
I wish there didn't have to be
A next time
Give me a chance to show you
(The next time)
Give me a chance
