This Time

[Verse 1]

One more hour burns

So scared of his return

That I can't sleep tonight

In this hospital light

You call a tragedy

Is just another day to me

For my heart beats with fear

As his footsteps draw near

The life I meant to lead

Won't slip away from me

[Chorus]

Because this time is the last time

I know that my eyes have seen too much

This nightmare is not fair

And I have had enough

You break me, and as I bleed

You just say you are sorry

You call this love?

But this time your lies

Are not enough

This time

[Verse 2]

There's nothing left of this

Your whispered words and empty threats

Rip away the seams of what I thought this would be

The last thread has come undone

To reveal what I've become

Another victim of a poison love

I've been afraid for years

But that won't keep me here

[Chorus]

Because this time is the last time

I know that my eyes have seen too much

This nightmare is not fair

And I have had enough

You break me

You just say you are sorry

You call this love?

But this time your lies

Are not enough

This time

[Bridge]

What remains a mystery

You can not have the best of me

So I'm taking back

All you took from me

[Chorus]

Because this time is the last time

I know that my eyes have seen too much

This nightmare is not fair

And I have had enough

You break me, and as I bleed

You just say you are sorry

You call this love?

But this time your lies

Are not enough

This time
