Lyrics
This Time Around
Maybe you're right
Maybe I'm wrong
And I couldn't face it all along
Yeah
Who have I become?
And maybe I'm weak
Weak as they come
Maybe I'm everything I'm running from
Yeah
Oh what have I done?
And honestly
I know I lied
Lied right through my teeth
When I said I'm fine
Maybe I could change this time around
But every time I try I let you down
Mascara on your face
It falls all the tears I've caused
Can I change this time around?
I worked hard just to gain your trust
Then I lost it all in a flash flood
Bad blood sitting in between me and you
What makes it even harder is
I see a bit of me in you
I wish we could exchange point of views
Trade point of views
So we could relate for a few
But I've been this way so long
That I don't know how to change
So I'm always going back to my old ways
What can I say?
I know I lied
Lied right through my teeth
When I said I'm fine
Maybe I could change this time around
But every time I try I let you down
Mascara on your face
It falls all the tears I've caused
Can I change this time around?
This time around
I won't let you down
This time around
This time, this time around
This time around
I won't let you down
This time around
This time, this time around
