Lyrics Kirk Franklin

Kirk Franklin

How It Used To Be

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

And couldn't see the enemy was me

I was blind and thought my second chance was gone

A ship without a sail

Battered by a ranging sea

Taking any love I can to try and stop the pain

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

I forgot who was, got caught up in this world

Jesus, I apologized

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 too keep my mind on You trouble keep calling me

Every time a wound heals, something else take the healing away

And even when I've gone too far, You knew there would come a day

Momma said what you love let it go and if it comes back, then it's back to say

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

I forgot who was, got caught up in this world

Jesus, I apologized

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

I 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 please take it

Now it comes to the break (hey)

Tell what you gon' say, you go say (I know I know)

I'll get my life right but (you know) you ain't promised tonight

Baby girl (Without You) (2x)

Oh, I can't take another day without You

'Cause this heart don't beat the same without

I forgot who was, got caught up in this world

Jesus, I apologized

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

(2x)
