Last night tried to get some snooze
Dreamed we was breaking up
We were through
When I looked around you was gone
Found that a house is really not a home
When you're alone
Since you been away from me baby
I was so wrong
Come back to me baby

And I thought about my family
Where would I be without their unity
And my love for my people run deep
When I struggled through the game
They supported me
So many who are gone and now asleep
Rest in peace
I know I'm blessed
Woke up to a second chance

This time, I'll be there for you
Every night say a prayer for you
This time, I'm gonna open up
Gonna take your advice
Gonna show some love
This time, and baby I'll be true
I'm gonna make a difference this time
I'm so in love with you
This time, yeah

Woke up turned on the news
Said to myself
What is this world coming to

This can't be true

Baby, I'm so scared
Scared of losing you
And I feel so helpless
I've been waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting
Just to catch my breath
My world is filled with noise
I need the calmness of your voice
Don't let 'em take away my joy
'Cause without you there's an empty void

This time, I'll be there for you
Say a prayer for you
This time, I'm gonna open up
Show you love, yeah
This time, baby I'll be true
I'm gonna make a difference this time
I'm so in love baby
This time, yeah

This time, this time
I can't describe feelings inside
Feel like I'm gonna die
And I can't hold back these tears in my eyes
No one can replace
The smile upon your face
And it used to make my day
I can't go on until I know that you're okay
And it's not the same baby
So I, so I gotta tell you, yeah

This time, I'll be there for you
Say a prayer for you
This time, I'm gonna open up
Show you love, yeah
This time, baby I'll be true
I'm gonna make a difference this time
I'm so in love baby
This time, this time

This time, I'll be there for you
Say a prayer for you
This time, I'm gonna open up
Show you love, yeah baby
This time, I'll be true
I'm gonna make a difference this time
I'm so in love
This time, yeah, yeah
