This Time
Neven Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Damn I took you for granted
That was my worst mistake
And now that I want you back
I just can't find a way
To keep you here
Right here with me
And now that I'm all alone
I just need this pain to leave

This time I'm willing to beg I'm willing to do
Everything you say
This time I'm gonna be strong
I'm gonna be worth of you every night and day
So it's on!
I don't feel like letting go

So if you're gonna leave me do it now
If you're gonna break my heart do it fast
If I'm gonna cry for you I want you to know
That imma' keep doing it
Cuz I'm in love
Love love love
Love love love
Love love love
But I'm alone

And I've been trying to figure out
What I've been doing it wrong
And I just can't find the answers that I'm looking for
It's like I'm looking with my eyes closed
It's like I'm trying to swim with my arms tightedto a rope

This time I'm willing to back
This I'm willing to be
This time I'm willing to do the things I hate
So you will stay with me
So it's on!
I don't feel like letting go

So if you're gonna leave me do it now
If you're gonna break my heart do it fast
If I'm gonna cry for you I want you to know
That imma' keep doing it
Cuz I'm in love
Love love love
Love love love
Love love love
But I'm alone

I don't wanna wait
For the damage to grow
Cuz you don't know but it hurts
I whole lot more than what I signed up for

So if you're gonna leave me do it now
If you're gonna break my heart do it fast
If I'm gonna cry for you I want you to know
That imma' keep doing it
Cuz I'm in love
Love love love
Love love love




Love love love
But I'm alone
