This Time

There I was playing my favorite game
Wearing my pride like a crown
Most insincere with
Whoever got nearest my heart

You came along and saw through my defenses
You waited till I let them down
And when I wasn't looking
You quietly took them apart

This time
This time I'm gonna fall a long, long way
This time
Losing it all is a chance I've got to take

This time
This time I'll taste it
I won't run, no, I won't waste it
This time is my time at last

I guess I'm not used to this kind of affair
This feeling of losing control
And learning to trust it
This feeling of just letting go

You see, I used to run from the first sign of trouble
And up to my tower I'd go
My promises shattered
The pieces all scattered below

But this time
This time I'm gonna fall a long, long way
This time
Losing it all is a chance I've got to take

Yeah, this time
This time I'll taste it
I won't run, no, I won't waste it
This time is my time at last

Stay with me now
Night is approaching
All lit up with stars
And if you go
God only knows what I'll be missing

Yeah, this time
This time I'll taste it
And call me fool if I should waste it
'Cause this time is my time
Yeah, this time is ours
This time is my time at last
