This Time
WRITTEN BY: CHRIS COLBY
I’m a lonely man in this lowly crowd
Faceless people talk so loud
I could hear you if they’d just leave
You made the scene. I feel their stares.
Your drink’s on me, your point was made
I can’t blame them for what they see
Now that you’ve lashed out all my hopes
And all my fears rest in you
Everybody seems to think it’s a joke but I’ll say to you
It’s just the truth to you. It’s one thing that I owe to you
If you ever go away I swear I’m not gonna wait this time
No, I won't wait this time
Race from the highway, turn on your street
Winter’s silence crushed beneath my feet
Winter’s roses never smell sweet
Now that you lost out on my hope
And all my fears arrest in you
Everybody seems to think it’s a joke but I’ll say to you
I will give the truth to you. It’s one thing that I owe to you
But if you ever go away I swear I’m not gonna wait this time
No, I won't wait this time
Now I’m at your door, and I know you’re there
Do you have the guts now to meet my stare
You can leave and I won’t care
Now that you lashed out all my hope
And all my fears arrest in you
Everybody seems to think it’s a joke but I’ll say to you
It’s just the truth to you. It’s one thing that I owe to you
If you ever go away I swear I’m not gonna wait this time
No, I won't wait this time
Look what you did to my heart.
