The Next Time Lyrics

I DIDN'T GIVE AS MUCH AS TAKE
THAT WAS MY FIRST MISTAKE
I LEARNED MY LESSON MUCH TOO LATE
BUT YOU WOUNDED HEART WOULDN'T WAIT
UNTIL I SAW THE ANSWERS
WERE RIGHT THERE IN YOUR EYES
BUT NOW I KNOW THE ANSWERS
I'VE LEARNED TO COMPROMISE

CHORUS
THE NEXT TIME
I SWEAR I'LL TAKE EACH MOMENT
AND WEIGHT IT IN MY HAND
TRY TO UNDERSTAND THE OTHER SIDE
NOT JUST MINE
MY LOVE WON'T BE BLIND
THE NEXT TIME
THERE'LL BE A HAPPY ENDING
CAUSE NOW MY HEART CAN SEE
HOW LONELY RIGHT CAN BE
I WISH THERE DIDN'T HAVE TO BE
A NEXT TIME

I'M GETTING STRONGER EVERYDAY
BUT I'D WISH THE PAST AWAY
IF I COULD CONVINCE YOUR HEART TO STAY IF I COULD JUST FIND A WAY
TO LET YOU SEE I'M CHANGING
AND SHOW YOU WHO I AM
IT'S UP TO ME TO CHANGE THINGS
I PROMISE THAT I CAN

REPEAT CHORUS

GIVE ME A CHANCE TO SHOW YOU (THE NEXT TIME)
GIVE ME A CHANCE
I SWEAR I'LL COME THROUGH

THE NEXT TIME
I'M GONNA TAKE EACH PRECIOUS MOMENT
AND HOLD IT IN MY HAND
I'LL UNDERSTAND YOUR FEELINGS
NOT JUST MINE
I WON'T BE SO BLIND
THE NEXT TIME
THERE'S GONNA BE A HAPPY ENDING
CAUSE NOW MY HEART CAN SEE
HOW LONELY RIGHT CAN BE
I WISH THERE DIDN'T HAVE TO BE
A NEXT TIME

GIVE ME A CHANCE TO SHOW YOU
(THE NEXT TIME)
GIVE ME A CHANCE
