This Time
PRIME Sth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's always the same
Between me and you
We're playing these games
That I always lose
We rerun the same story
But I've made it rewind
Not this time
No more hanging on
Building up and breaking down

Chorus:
This time I won't let you drag me down
You won't make me turn around
This time I will make it through somehow
I'll make it to the other side

It's always the same
Between you and me
You're always to blame
For my misery
Because I live through your sorrow
But I've made up my mind
Not this time
No more hanging on
Building up and breaking down

Repeat Chorus

No more trying
No more lying
No more crying
No more violence, screaming, silence
No more dying
Watch me as I walk away
I have made up my mind
Not this time
This time





Repeat Chorus (2x)
