This Time
Melanie Fiona; J.Cole Lyrics

If only you knew all the love I had inside
If you only knew the depth of my love for you

If only I told you
If only I expressed my feelings to you

That you were my greatest pride
That you meant everything to me

If only I showed you just how good you made me feel
If I had only shown you how much you meant to me

Maybe I wouldn't be alone and you would be right here but
Maybe we would still be together

I don't wanna do it over
I don't want to go back and re-live the past

The first time has gone away
The past cannot be changed

You can't rewrite the past
The past cannot be changed

All I can do is say
All I can do is express my feelings now

This time, I'll do it much better
This time, I will love you more deeply

Love you like I never
Love you in a way I've never loved before

Ever loved you before
Love you more deeply than ever before

Oh baby, now this time
Now, in this moment

I'll give you my heart and soul
I will give you everything I have

And every drop of my love
All my love and devotion

If you say yes I'll give you my best
If you accept my love, I will give you my all

This time, I'm gonna be stronger
This time, I will be stronger and more committed

This time I'll do it all the way
This time, I will wholeheartedly love and commit

This time I'll be a better woman
This time, I will be a better partner

This time I won't get in my own way
This time, I won't sabotage our relationship

I could go back you never would have gone
If I could go back, we wouldn't have broken up

If I knew then what I know now
If I had knowledge I have now, things would be different

I've told you all that I feel for you in my heart
I have expressed all my feelings for you

In my head I know what I should've said
I know now what I should have said in the past

I know what I shoulda did
I know now what I should have done in the past

But I don't wanna do it over
I don't want to go back and re-live the past

The first time is gone away
The past cannot be changed

You can't rewrite the past
The past cannot be changed

All I can do is say
All I can do is express my feelings now

If looks kill then Melanie you a felony
You are incredibly attractive

We both hot I guess we couldn't take the jealousy
Our mutual hotness may have contributed to our relationship issues

All in my ear I had my homeboys telling me
My friends were advising me

How to be a player, we fell off like Bill Bellamy
We fell apart and lost our connection

MTV shhh, we used to watch Law and Order, NBC shh
We used to watch shows together

But now I'm watching solo on some empty seat shit
Now, I am watching shows alone

Thinking of you, I got a lot more drinking to do
I find myself drinking more when I think of you

Reminiscing, though I seen it coming
Reflecting, even though I could see our problems

Yeah I had a premonition
I had a feeling that things wouldn't work out

Right beside each other and somehow it felt distant
We were close in proximity, but emotionally distant

Lets rewind back when days sunny like Liston
Let's go back to happier times

Smile just glisten, your booty like a cushion
Remembering happy moments of being together

Is this the moment where we making up
Is this the moment where we reconcile

And realise we tripping forever breaking up
And realize that we should reconcile and not break up

And then I break you off, put you to sleep know its deep
I will satisfy you deeply

When the girl of his dreams is the same one to wake him up
You are the girl of my dreams, and you make me happy every day
