Melanie C
This Time

I’ve been practicing all day
Now the words i’ve meant to say are gone
I promissed that i wouldn’t cry
Told myself i have to try and hold on

The truth, I lied - I hate myself inside
And why I played the game and paid the price

I never looked back
I never cried, never tried to wonder why
I’ll be on my own, I never doubt, never shout or wonder how
I’ll never be lonely until this time, this time, this time I will

I’ve been wide awake on night
There’s no sight of sleep inside my mind
The headlight shadows scares my wall
I convince myself you'll call in time

The truth, I lied - the girl in me has died
And why I played the game and paid the price

I never looked back
I never cried, never tried to wonder why
I’ll be on my own, I never doubt, never shout or wonder how
I’ll never be lonely until this time, this time, this time I will

This time I will be yours completely
This time I’ll make sure you don’t hate me
This time I know, this time I can
This time I will

I never looked back
I never cried, never tried to wonder why
I’ll be on my own, I never doubt, never shout or wonder how
I’ll never be lonely until this time, this time, this time I will

I never looked back
I never cried, never tried to wonder why
I’ll be on my own, I never doubt, never shout or wonder how
I’ll never be lonely until this time, this time, this time I will

I’ve been practicing all day
Now the words i’ve meant to say are gone
