This Time

One more hour burns

So scared of his return

But I can't sleep tonight

In this hospit light

What you call tragedy

It 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

You break me as I bleed

You just say you're sorry

You call this love

But this time your lies are not enough

This time

There's nothing left of this

Your whispered words and empty threats

We both wait to cease

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

You break me

You just say you're sorry

You call this love

But this time your lies 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

You break me

You just say you're sorry

You call this love

But this time your lies are not enough

This time
