Lyrics Kirk Franklin – How It Used To Be

Verse I
I ain’t gonna lie
I can’t even count the days
Or the many nights I tried living here alone

Verse II
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?

B Section
Can I go back in time?
Can I have another try?
But I can’t change yesterday

Chorus
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

Verse III
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

Chorus

Bridge
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

Breakdown
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

Chorus 2x
