This Time

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

I never look back

I never cry, never try to wonder why I'll be on my own

And never doubt, never shout or wonder how

I'll never be lonely until this time, this time, this time

This time I will

I've been wide awake all night

There's no sign of sleep inside my mind

And the headlight shadows scan my wall

And 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

I never cry, never try to wonder why I'll be on my own

And never doubt, never shout or wonder how

I'll never be lonely until this time, this time, this time

This time I will

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, this time I will

I never look back

I never cry, never try to wonder why I'll be on my own

And never doubt, never shout or wonder how

I'll never be lonely until this time, this time, this time

This time I will

I've been practicing all day

Now the words I meant to say are gone
