Lyrics
Verse
All this time
I thought I had you
But I just had your body
And not your mind
And I gave you everything
But not my time
Not my time
Now I can't even lie
I'm the reason why
It all fell apart
But I'll keep it real with you
I still want you
I still want you
Chorus
Girl
When I lay down in my bed at night
I don't wanna wake up unless you're by my side
Now that you're gone
Baby
I'm thinkin' 'bout the wrongs
Maybe
We can make it right
Girl
When I lay down in my bed at night
I don't wanna wake up unless you're by my side
Now that you're gone
Baby
I'm thinkin' 'bout the wrongs
Maybe
We can make it right
'Cause I can't stop thinkin' 'bout you
'Bout you
'Bout you
'Bout you
Oh
'bout you
'Bout you
Oh
'bout you
Verse 2
Girl
I don't wanna be your friend
So if we can't make it work
Then I'll see you in the next life
If I make it in
I know that's kind of extreme
But girl
You know what I mean
You know what I mean
It's a damn shame
We fell in love
Then it went away
Now I'm hopin' that we can be the same
Oh
I'm hopin' we can be the same
I'm hopin' we can be the same
Chorus
Girl
When I lay down in my bed at night
I don't wanna wake up unless you're by my side
Now that you're gone
Baby
I'm thinkin' 'bout the wrongs
Maybe
We can make it right
Girl
When I lay down in my bed at night
I don't wanna wake up unless you're by my side
Now that you're gone
Baby
I'm thinkin' 'bout the wrongs
Maybe
We can make it right
'Cause I can't stop thinkin' 'bout you
'Bout you
'Bout you
'Bout you
Oh
'bout you
'Bout you
Oh
'bout you
Bridge
I still want you
I still want you
Chorus
Girl
When I lay down
