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
It's 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 thread 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
