Next Time Around
T.G.T. Lyrics

What was I thinking, I knew I fucked up
I acknowledge my mistake and take responsibility for hurting you

But I can't do this without you
I realize my dependence on you and my inability to move forward without your support

Why can't we just, damn
I express frustration at the current situation and long for reconciliation

(Whoa oh) She's packing everything in the room
I am witnessing the physical manifestation of your leaving, which heightens my emotional distress

I'm going crazy like (Whoa oh)
I am overwhelmed by my emotions, and it feels like I am losing my mind

I knew that this day was coming soon
I had a premonition or sensed that our relationship was on the verge of ending

But I'm feeling like (Whoa oh)
Despite knowing that this was coming, the reality of the situation still feels shocking and upsetting

This can make a grow man cry
The pain of losing you is so intense that it can bring even the toughest man to tears

And having him sounding like (Whoa oh)
The depth of my pain is audible in my voice, and I am making sounds of distress

It may hurt but it's still not enough to give up
Despite the pain and difficulty, I am determined to keep fighting for our relationship

On everything, on everything
I swear by everything that is important to me, that I am sincere in my desire to make things right

I'm still trying to buy you a house and a ring
I want to show you my commitment to building a life together and providing for you

On everything baby I'm a change
I am actively working on becoming a better person so that I can be a better partner to you

I'm a get it right so when you come back girl it won't be the same
I am determined to learn from my mistakes and create a better relationship with you in the future

And I'll be ready next time around
I am optimistic that we will have a chance to try again and that I will be better prepared for the next time around

'Cause right now it feels like pain
The current pain of loss and regret is all-consuming and overwhelming

Feel like the Sun lost a fight with the rain
The joy and light of our relationship has been replaced by a sense of darkness and sadness

I know right now it's over
I accept that our relationship has come to an end in its current form

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The repeated vocalization of 'oh' is a manifestation of my pain and distress

(Whoa oh) I'm gone need a shot of that Henn
I am turning to alcohol as a coping mechanism to try and numb the pain

Tell me how'd I hurt this woman again
I am reflecting on my actions and trying to understand how I caused you hurt and pain

Tonight I'm screaming like (Whoa oh)
The depth of my pain is so intense that I am using vocalization as a way of expressing it

Baby girl gave me signs, a women will give you signs
I recognize that you tried to communicate your dissatisfaction with our relationship and that it's important for me to listen and understand those signs

I guess she's no longer mine
I accept that the relationship is over and that you have moved on

but I'm a give her sometime to reconsider
Despite accepting the reality of the situation, I'm still holding out hope that you might change your mind

A real man admits when he's wrong
I am expressing my belief that true masculinity involves accountability and taking responsibility for one's actions

Admits when he's gone, admits when he loves her
I am acknowledging that I've made mistakes and that I need to take responsibility for leaving you and hurting you

A real man gon' pick up the phone saying
I recognize that true masculinity involves taking decisive action and trying to repair the damage I have caused

"Please come home I can't love another"
I am humbly and honestly expressing my desire to reconcile and my unwillingness to pursue another relationship while still having feelings for you

And I'll be ready for next time around (Next time!)
I am expressing my hope and optimism that we might have a chance to try again in the future

And I'll be ready next time around (I'm a be prepared!)
I am committed to working on myself and preparing for the possibility of a future relationship with you

'Cause right now it feels like pain
The current pain of loss and regret is all-consuming and overwhelming

Feels like the Sun lost a fight with the rain
The joy and light of our relationship has been replaced by a sense of darkness and sadness

I know right now it's over
I accept that our relationship has come to an end in its current form
