"Lately" lyrics

"Lately"

Lately
What I want to say, it could hurt you now
I'm here
In the middle of the night, I'm calling now
Was safe with you
I'll be gone before you let me down, yeah
And you know it's true

Lately
What I want to say, it could hurt you now
I'm here
In the middle of the night, I'm calling now
Was safe with you
I'll be gone before you let me down, yeah
And you know it's true

Oh Lord, Lord knows we fight
But when things come forth, we pay the price
Mmhmm
What is this for me?
What is this for you?
What is this life? It was ours
I'm so grateful to know
Hmm
I'm not searching or stopping
You're not waiting for your faith in love to grow
No chasing or wondering
Always had you as a friend
It feels hard to say now
I'm not saying that I'm perfect
But we had more than somethin'
Doesn't it always work out

Lately
What I want to say, it could hurt you now
I'm here
In the middle of the night, I'm calling now
Was safe with you
I'll be gone before you let me down, yeah
And you know it's true

Lately
What I want to say, it could hurt you now
I'm here
In the middle of the night, I'm calling now
Was safe with you
I'll be gone before you let me down, yeah
And you know it's true

Not all things last
But I got this pack
One night, but I won't take you back
Won't lie, I just knew you wouldn't get it
I lied 'cause I regret it
They say you won't regret something that you never did
