Lyrics

This Time

This time
I won't show I'm vulnerable
This time
I won't give in first
This time
I will hold out with my love
This time
I will not be hurt

Gonna love myself more than anyone else
Gonna treat me right
Gonna make you say that you love me first
You'll be the one with the most to lose tonight
This time

This time
Won't let my emotions rule my life
This time
Gonna keep my heart locked safe inside
This time
I'm gonna be my own best friend
This time
I'm gonna be the one

To win
Your love
Your affection
To hide
My fear
Of rejection
This time
This time

Gonna love myself more than anyone else
Gonna treat me right
Gonna make you say that you love me first
You'll be the one with the most to lose tonight
This time

This time
Won't let my emotions rule my life
This time
Gonna keep my heart locked safe inside
This time
I'm gonna be my own best friend
This time
I'm gonna be the one
