Lately

There was a time, I'm sure you've heard it all before

When I felt that I had walked through every door

I had no time for the things I now hold so dear

My ego held my hand and whispered in my ear

Even when I met you, I had less than no idea

Of what you'd give to me to take away my fear

Now it seems strange to think about life before

I don't want to lose this love, this love I can't ignore

So boy, lately, I stopped fooling around

And lately, I realize what I have found

And I couldn't last another day

If you should decide to go away

Now is the time to tell you what I've never shown

And give you all the things that you have never known

I know it's late to change my point of view

But I need this chance, this chance to keep my hold on you

So boy, lately, I stopped fooling around

And lately, I realize what I have found

And I couldn't last another day

If you should decide to go away

So boy, lately, I stopped fooling around

And lately, I realize what I have found

And I couldn't last another day

If you should decide to take it away

So please don't say you're going away

Going away

I'm going away

So boy, lately, I stopped fooling around

And lately, I realize what I have found

And I couldn't last another day

If you should decide to go away

So boy, lately, I stopped fooling around

I realize what I have found

If you should decide to go away
