I Didn't Realize

Jesse Powell

Seems like not long ago
Now two years have passed
I took you for granted
It ended too fast, cuz I
I wasn't payin' much attention to your needs, girl (no)
You tried and tried a million times
You cried to me, girl

But I couldn't see
The pain you went through
I was killin' you softly
But I never knew, 'til I found
I found it in that lonely place you left for me, girl (girl)
And now it's killin' me
That's how it's got to be, girl

Girl, you build my heart to break it down
Here I'm cryin' out but no one's around
What does it matter now
What does it matter now…

I didn't realize that I love you
Till the day that you stopped lovin' me (till the day)
I didn't realize that I cared for you (oh)
Till I heard the news (oh)
That you're leaving me (you would leaving me)

Now I realize that I love you (now I realize that I love you)
And I'm hopin' that it's not too late (please)
Please pack your bags (pack your bags)
And come on back (and come on back)
Cuz now I realize that I'm in love with you

Two weeks have gone
My life is a mess
The closets are empty
Not even a dress, girl, remains
I sit and wonder what I could've done to please you (oh…)
Is this the penalty for times I would mistreat you?

Now there are no lips to kiss
And no hand to hold
There's no one to hear me
When I bare my soul, and to see
To see you with somebody else would drive me crazy (oh, no)
Knowing you wanna fall in love and have a baby

I'm standing here, broken down
Cryin' out, but girl, you're not around
What does it matter now
What does it matter now…oh…

I didn't realize that I love you (oh)
Till the day that you stopped lovin' me
(Babe, the day you stopped, babe)
I didn't realize that I cared for you (oh, oh)
Till I heard the news (girl)
That you're leaving me (yeah)

Now I realize that I love you 
(Now I realize that I love you, oh…)
And I'm hopin' that it's not too late 
Please (please) pack your bags (pack your bags)
And come on back (and come on back)
Cuz now I realize that I'm in love with you

I apologize 
For all the wrong things that I done
I'm sorry, babe
For all the right things that I didn't do
One thing, that can change a man
Is living alone
Come back home, oh…ooh

I didn't realize that I love you
Till the day that you stopped lovin' me (I didn't realize)
I didn't realize that I cared for you
Till I heard the news (till I heard the news)
That you're leaving me (oh…)

Now I realize that I love you
(Now I realize that I love you)
And I'm hopin' that it's not too late (yeah, yeah)
Please pack your bags (pack your bags)
And come on back (and come on back)
Cuz now I realize that I'm (yeah…) in love 

Yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah…)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, come on (come on, come on back to me)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (I'm sorry)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah, oh…oh, oh)

Now I realize that I love you (now I realize)
And I'm hopin' that it's not too late 
(I'm hopin' it's not too late)
Please pack your bags (pack your bags)
And come on back (and come on back)
Cuz now I realize that I'm in love with you

Please pack your bags
And come on back
Cuz now I realize that I'm in love
With you…
