This Time
It's 4 a.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 to hard?
Or fall to 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 to 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 to 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 4 am and I'm wide awake
Waiting for my thoughts to fade
It's times like these I see your face
