This Time

I never really thought you'd say goodbye
I never really thought you'd make me cry
You know I always thought we were meant to be
I can't take anymore, anymore
And I don't wanna be alone
I can't make it without you in my life
Baby this time
I can't let you go
I don't care what you say
I don't wanna know
Baby this time
I can't let it be
Cause your heart belongs to me
Let's give it one more try
Baby this time
I never really knew how much I cared
I never knew that I could be so scared
I never wanted more than you could give
I won't hurt you anymore, anymore
No I don't wanna be alone
I can't make it without you in my life
Baby this time
I can't let you go
I don't care what you say
I don't wanna know this time
I can't let it be
Cause your heart belongs to me
Let's give it one more try
Baby this time
I will be true
Give all I can give to you
Just look at the love in my eyes
Cause you are the one




I truly believe
This time

What do you mean no curfew? If there is no curfew that means we can still go out at ANY TIME like after 12AM or 1AM or 2AM, etc.
No curfew but close at 8pm? What is this? Where is the concept of this situation here?
Please do not use the word curfew if you are saying there is nada 🤨

Use your brain, what is your purpose going out after 8? No curfew means those finish work (essential) or need to go work after 8 can still do so.

@Ronnie Chew fishing not allow during mco 3.0

Can I go fishing by myself if there is no curfew? I won't talk with fish

@Kevin your question is too long if you read it carefully you can tell that you are complaining.. Its more complaining than actually asking a question

Fariha hi, there's a difference between lockdown and curfew. During 13 May 1969 it was a curfew. It was an emergency at that time . You can't go out of your compound. There's only a certain time the family members can go out to the nearby provision shops/market( no supermarkets then) and get home immediately. Not even talking to your neighbours over the fence. As for now with the current pandemic it is better to stay at home if you have nothing to do outside.

Nowhere to go after 8.00 pm is similar to Curfew to me remembering Curfew during the 60 and 70 period then .
