This Time

[Verse 1]

It's been a real long year

It's been a lot going on since the things have gone wrong, yeah

So much for me to do

And now that I can see clear, I can start a brand new

[Pre-Chorus]

Family, school friends

This time things are gon' be different

Silence, no way

I'm not giving up that easy

No more feeling all alone

I am strong here on my own

I would take this as my one chance to be me

[Chorus]

This time, nobody's gonna stop me

This time, I'm finally free

This time, from my head to my toes, from my mind to my soul

I'm letting you know

This time, I'm loving myself on time

And I want you to know that I'm letting the past stay behind

And it's gonna be fine this time

This time, this time, ooh, this time

[Verse 2]

There's been so many times

I've smiled for anyone else, but not for myself

No one really understood all the things I went through

As I was living for you

[Pre-Chorus]

Family, school friends

This time things are gon' be different

Silence, no way

I'm not giving up that easy

No more feeling all alone

I am strong here on my own

I would take this as my one chance to be me

[Chorus]

This time, nobody's gonna stop me

This time, I'm finally free

This time, from my head to my toes, from my mind to my soul

I'm letting you know

This time, I'm loving myself on time

And I want you to know that I'm letting the past stay behind

And it's gonna be fine this time

[Bridge]

Cause you don't have to be alone

Just pick up the phone and call me

I'll be there whenever you need me

Say ooh-oh oh oh oh

[Chorus]

This time, nobody's gonna stop me

This time, I'm finally free

This time, from my head to my toes, from my mind to my soul

I'm letting you know

This time, I'm loving myself on time

And I want you to know that I'm letting the past stay behind

And it's gonna be fine this time

This time, nobody's gonna stop me

This time, I'm finally free

This time, from my head to my toes, from my mind to my soul

I'm letting you know

This time, I'm loving myself on time

And I want you to know that I'm letting the past stay behind

And it's gonna be fine this time
