This Time

This Time Lyrics

It's 4a.m. and I'm wide awake
Waiting for my thoughts to fade
A flickering of all of my mistakes
And as the light starts creeping in
I slowly feel the day I'm missing
But I wouldn't even know where to begin
Do I push too hard or fall too fast
The moment never seems to last
Will I stop long enough to know

Everybody burns and when it starts to hurt, I cry
I feel it in my veins. I just can't walk away, this time

Your words circle in my head
Weigh so heavy on my chest
And I'm crushed by your expectation
I only want to do some good
Too dumb to know if I could
And I just wanna feel the days I'm in
Do I go too far, not far enough
Why can't I keep my big mouth shut
And do we lead the life that we should

Everybody burns and when it starts to hurt, I cry
I feel it in my veins. I just can't walk away, this time

Did I say too much again? I'm just a girl in a panic
If I tell you my truth am I getting through?
It just seems I should confess. Who am I to pretend?
This is more than I can carry

Everybody burns and when it starts to hurt, I cry
I hold my head up high. I know I'll be alright this time
I feel it in my veins. I just can't walk away this time
This time, this time
This time, this time

It's 4a.m. and I'm wide awake
Waiting for my thoughts to fade
It's times like these I see your face
