This Time (feat. J Cole)

If only you knew all the love i had inside

If only i told you

That you were my greatest pride

If only i showed you just how good you made me feel

Maybe i wouldn't be alone and you would be right here but

I don't wanna do it over

The first time has gone away

You can't rewind the past

All i can do is say...

This time, i'm doing much better

Love you like i never

Ever loved you before

Oh baby, not this time

I'm giving my heart and soul

That i reach out for my love

If you say yes i'll give you my best

This time

This time, i'm gonna be stronger

This time i'll do it all the way

This time i'll be a better woman

This time i won't get in my own way

I could go back you never would have gone

If i knew then what i know now

I've told you all that i've built for you in my heart

In my head i know what i should've said

I know what i shoulda did

But i don't wanna do it over

The first time is gone away

You can't revive the past

All i can do is say...

If looks kill then melanie you a felony

We both hot i guess we couldn't take the jealousy

All in my ear i had my homeboys telling me

How to be a player, we fell off like bill bellamy

Mtv shhh, we used to watch law and order, nbc shh

But now i'm watching solo on some empty seat shit

Thinking of you, i got a lot more drinking to do

Reminiscing, though i seen it coming

Yeah i had a premonition

Right beside each other and somehow it felt distant

Lets rewind back when days sunny like liston

Smile just glisten, your booty like a cushion

Is this the moment where we making up

And realise we tripping forever breaking up

And then i break you off, put you to sleep know it's deep

When the girl of his dreams is the same one to wake him up
