"The Rest Will Follow" lyrics

Things been good but it could have been better
I'm an honest man and there's no need to lie
You was out the door but love wouldn't let you
You came back and gave it another try
I made my mistakes I learned my lesson
From all the tears that fell down from your eyes
I'mma keep it real I can see why you're stressing
I can see you got a lot on your mind

Girl I'm a changed man
And I'm willing to understand
It ain't always about me
Communication is the key
I got to shut up and listen sometimes

I gotta be quiet and the rest will follow
I tell myself, don't think too much and the rest will follow
No need to rush, the rest will follow
Baby let's stay together
The rest will follow, so I know

I was so dumb yeah I should've been smarter
I'm ashamed of how I treated you
Should've known better not to hurt your feelings
I should've respected your opinion too
I should've listened to the preacher's sermon
'Cause now I'm reaping what I sowed
And all these roses don't mean nothing
When all you're holding are the thorns

I'm a changed man
And I'm willing to understand
It ain't always about me
Communication is the key
I got to shut up and listen sometimes

I gotta be quiet and the rest will follow
I tell myself, don't think too much and the rest will follow
Baby there's no need to rush. No. The rest will follow
'Cause the rest will follow
Baby let's stay together
'Cause I know that the rest will follow

Let's look forward, no turning back
I'm dedicated, no need to ask
I can't live. Don't take my life
I know what I gotta do to make things right

I gotta be quiet and the rest will follow
I tell myself, don't think too much and the rest will follow
I wanna take my time
Said I love you girl and I'm gonna hold on
So baby let's stay together
The rest will follow
And I know the rest will follow
Yes, it will
