This Time

I've been practising 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

The headlight shadow 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, 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

And this time I will



I never look back, I never cry

Never try to wonder why

And 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 never look back, I never cry

Never try to wonder why

And 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
