This Time

[Verse 1]
It's 4 a.m. and I'm wide awake
Waiting for my thoughts to fade
And 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

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Do I push too hard or fall too fast?
The moment never seems to last
And will I stop for long enough to know

[Chorus 1]
That everybody burns?
And when it starts to hurt, I cry
I feel it in my veins
I just can't walk away this time

[Verse 2]
Your words circle in my head
And 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

[Pre-Chorus 2]
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?

[Chorus 2]
And everybody burns
And when it starts to hurt, I cry
I feel it in my veins
I just can't walk away this time

[Bridge]
And did I say too much again, I'm just a girl in a panic
And if I tell you my truth am I getting through?
It just seems I should confess and who am I to pretend?
This is more than I can carry

[Chorus 3]
And everybody burns
And when it starts to hurt, I cry
I hold my head up high
I know I'll be alright this time

[Post-Chorus]
I feel it in my veins
I just can't walk away, this time
This time, this time
This time, this time

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