This Time

melanie c

i've been practicing all day

now the words i meant to say are gone

i promised that i wouldn't cry

told myself i had to try and hold on

the truth, i lied

i hate myself inside

and why

i played the game and paid the price

[01:42.65][00:44.86]i never look back

[02:29.18][01:44.12][00:47.24]i never cry never try to wonder why

[02:32.67][01:48.14][00:51.04]i'll be on my own

[02:35.30][01:49.22][00:52.90]and never doubt, never shout

[02:37.13][01:51.45][00:55.06]or wonder how

[02:38.95][01:53.46][00:56.91]i'll never be lonely until

[02:42.04][01:56.05][00:59.56]this time, this time, this time

[02:46.67][01:59.43][01:03.15]this time i will

i've been wide awake all night

there's no sign of sleep

inside my mind

the headlight shadows scan my wall

i convince myself

you'll call in time

the truth, i lied

the girl in me has died

and why

i played the game and paid the price

i never look back...

this time i will be yours completely

this time i'll make sure

you don't hate me

this time i know,

this time i can and this time

i will

i never look back...

i've been practicing all day

now the words i meant

to say are gone.
