This time

One more hour burns
so scared of his return
that i can’t sleep tonight
in this hospital light
what you call a tragedy
is just another day to me
for my heart beats with fear
as his footsteps draw near

the life i meant to lead
won’t slip away from me

cuz this time is 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, and 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
rip away the seams of what i though this would be
the last thread has come undone
to reveal what i’ve become
another victim of a poison love

i’ve been afraid for years
but that won’t keep me here

cuz this time is 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
to just say you’re sorry
you call this love
but this time your lies
are not enough
this time

what remains a mystery
you can not have the best of me
so i’m taking back
all you took from me

cuz this time is 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
to just say you’re sorry
you call this love
but this time your lies
are not enough
this time
