This Time

It's 4 A.M. and I'm wide awake
 Waiting for my thoughts to fade
 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
 Do I push too hard or fall too fast
 The moment never seems to last
 Will I stop for long enough to know
 'Cause everybody burns
 And when it starts to hurt
 I cry
 I feel it in my veins
 I just can't walk away
 This time
 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
 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?
 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
 Did I say too much again
 Just a girl in a panic
 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
 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
 I feel it in my veins
 I just can't walk away
 This time
 Ah, ah, ah (This time)
 Ah, ah, ah (This time)
 Ah, ah, ah (This time)
 Ah, ah, ah (This time)
 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
