This Time
One more hour burns
So scared of his return
That I can't sleep tonight
In this hospital light
What you call tragedy
Is just another day to me
For my heart beats with fear
As his footsteps draw near
The life I'm meant to lead
Won't slip away from me
'Cause this time's the last time
I know that my eyes have seen too much
This nightmare is not fair
And I've had enough (and I've had enough)
You break me, and as I bleed
You just say you're sorry, you call this love
But this time your lies are not enough (are not enough)
This time
There's nothing left of this
Your whispered words and empty threats rip away at the seams
Of what I thought this would be
The last threat has come undone
To reveal what I've become
Another victim of a poisoned love
I've been afraid for years
But that won't keep me here
'Cause this time's the last time
I know that my eyes have seen too much
This nightmare is not fair
And I've had enough (and I've had enough)
You break me, to just say you're sorry
You call this love
But this time your lies are not enough (are not enough)
This time
And what remains a mystery
You cannot have the best of me
So I'm taking back all you took from me
'Cause this time's the last time
I know that my eyes have seen too much
This nightmare is not fair
And I've had enough (and I've had enough)
You break me, to just say you're sorry
You call this love
But this time your lies are not enough (are not enough)
This time
