[Verse 1:]
For all the times that I made you cry
For the cold and lonely sleepless nights
I sing a song of love to keep you near

'Cause I wanna come back to you
And there's nothing for you
That I would not do
You are the other half of me

Without your love
I could not breathe
So say you'll never leave again
'Cause I told you lies and criticized you
But this time
There'll be no goodbyes

[Chorus:]
For your love
I would do most anything
For your love
The sweetest melody I'd sing

For your love
Just to heal the broken wings
Of our love
Is for your love

[Verse 2:]
So many tears I made you cry
By holding on to my foolish pride
Tell me why
'Cause now I regret it (Oh, yes, I do)

So many days
I ran away
When "I'm sorry" was all I had to say
I took you for granted
But it's not how I planned it

[Repeat Chorus:]

[Bridge:]
So many nights I tossed and turned
Remembering all the bridges I burned
Two bridges between us
If only God could have seen us

Oh, tell me it's not too late to start again
Maybe this time as the best of friends
Just never say never
You believe in forever

[Repeat Chorus x2:]

Tevin Campbell is a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter that got his career started with two big names in music—first working with Quincy Jones in 1989 on “Tomorrow (A Better You, Better Me)” from the album Back on the Block and then working with Prince on “Round and Round” from the Graffiti Bridge soundtrack in 1990.

His debut album T.E.V.I.N. was released on November 19, 1991 and features the #1 R&B hits “Tell Me What You Want Me To Do” and “Alone With You,” which helped the album go platinum and earn Tevin a Grammy nomination for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance. His next album I’m Ready was released on October 26, 1993 and featured the Babyface-produced hits “Can We Talk” and “I’m Ready.” This album went double platinum and led to three more Grammy nominations for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for “Can We Talk,” Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for “I’m Ready,” and Best R&B Album.

Tevin’s third album Back to the World was released on June 25, 1996 and he followed that up with the release of a self-titled album on February 23, 1999. He appeared in the Broadway musical Hairspray in 2005 and after some guest appearances on various shows throughout the years, he released the song “Safer on the Ground” in 2016.
