Recovery
Justin Bieber Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

First, I'll acknowledge
All trust has been broken
A successful recovery
I pray for us at night

Grants me with a second chance
Never thought I'd see your face again
Learning life through trial and error
Just tryna make it right

Make it right
Make it right
Make it right
This time I'll do you right
Oh, whoa, oh

Missing your good intentions
Missing you from a distance
Hope you did the same

I know that I caused a problem
Know that I left you livid
Pushed you far away

Learned it don't pay to lie
'Cause I don't wanna see you cry
Sayin' nothin gets you nowhere fast
I'ma hold it back inside

But now that I'm back around ya
Nothing else really matters
Hope you feel the same

First, I'll acknowledge
All trust has been broken
A successful recovery
I pray for us at night

Grants me with a second chance
Never thought I'd see your face again
Learning life through trial and error
Just tryna make it right

Make it right
Make it right
Make it right
This time I'll do you right
Oh, whoa oh

I'm going through all the motions
Trying to find a reason
That we ended that way

Nothing in life is perfect
We'll be changing like the seasons
That's what they used to say, yeah, yeah

If it's going to sleep alone at night
I don't wanna close my eyes
Wanna give you all I have to give
No more holdin' back this time

Now that I'm back around ya
Nothin' around me matters
Hope you feel the same

First, I'll acknowledge
All trust has been broken
A successful recovery
I pray for us at night

Grants me with a second chance
Never thought I'd see your face again
Learning life through trial and error
And tryna make it right

Make it right (make it right, make it right)
Make it right (make it right, make it right)
Make it right (make it right, make it right)
This time I'll do you right
Oh, whoa

You know I'ma do you right (I'ma do you right)
You know I'ma do you right (I'ma do you right)
You know I'ma do you right (I'ma do you right)
You know I'ma do you right (I'ma do you right)




I'ma do you right (I'ma do you right)
You know I'ma do you right (I'ma do you right)

His BEST album. THIS is what made me a JB fan. His R&B talents are far beyond his pop.

Honestly I overlooked this album because during this time it wasn't his best with all the media and all the pressure. But clearly he still managed to make good music

@WhosNyGeal
