[Verse 1]
I never know till right now so won't you tell me how fi make things better
I never realize why how was i to be the wiser when I met ya
I let ya take my whole state of mind got me lock up in ya sights, how I forget ya now?
And as the story unfold may the truth be told I should known bet-ah (ay-ah)

[Chorus]
When I cry the tears in my eyes they won't go away
And I try but I can't seem to find I can't find my way
Tell me how long was I gon for love you (ooh)
Tell me how long was I supposed to wait for you
Tell me how many times will "I'm sorry" ease my pain (ee-yay)

[Verse 2]
Me so blessed me got me stress down
If nothing less I got me little bit of rest now
From all the heartache been pounding in my chest, running through my head, still lying in mi bed (oh yeah)
I live life black and white all I dream is in color
Holding on through the night while me under the covers
I don't mind the feeling of love but one time I just wanna be right

[Chorus]
When I cry the tears in my eyes they won't go away
And I try but I can't seem to find I can't find my way
Tell me how long was I gon for love you (ooh)
Tell me how long was I supposed to wait for you
Tell me how many times will "I'm sorry" ease my pain (ee-yay)

[Bridge]
The rain is where I sit to think about the light that once passed me by
Which brightened my life
I'm lost wandering round an round me heart still disemboweled
When no one holding me down (down down down)
The waterfalls from my eyes flooding paradise drowning the terrified
It's frightening like lightning when striking the ground
Keeping my mind awake at night

[Chorus]
When I cry the tears in my eyes they won't go away
And I try but I can't seem to find I can't find my way
Tell me how long was I gon for love you (ooh)
Tell me how long was I supposed to wait for you
Tell me how many times will "I'm sorry" ease my pain (ee-yay)
