This Time

Do you remember what you said?
 How you hated me and wished I was dead
 That you hoped I'd drive off the road
 Then I'd hit a tree, and my car would explode?
 Well, I thought to myself
 That can't be good for a daughter to say
 And I thought to myself
 I should do this another way
 Maybe this time
 Maybe this time
 After all the lies
 After all the beer
 Maybe he can change
 Maybe he's sincere
 Maybe
 This time
 Do you remember what you said?
 How I reminded you of that story you read
 And at first, I felt kind of thrilled
 'Til you explained who Medea had killed?
 Well, I thought to myself
 That can't be good for a daughter to say
 And I thought to myself
 I should do this another way
 Maybe this time
 Maybe this time
 After all the hurt
 Maybe there's a twist
 Maybe she won't be a narcissist
 I want to believe them
 I want to believe
 This time
 I will believe
 ♪
 This time
 Oh, this time
 Oh, this time
 I put aside the doubt
 This time
 Oh, this time
 Oh, this time
 Maybe things work out
 ♪
 This time
 Oh, this time
 This time
 The dead ends will end
 This time (this time)
 Oh, this time (this time)
 Oh, this time
 I think I found a friend
 It's Friday night in Bergen County
 There are parties everywhere
 And we finally got invited!
 This time
 (Oh) this time
 (Oh) this time
 A better life begins
 It's Friday night in Bergen County (this time)
 There are parties everywhere (this time)
 This time
 Everybody wins
 This time, we won't implode
 This time (we hit the road)
 This time (we'll stay on track)
 This time (my voice won't crack)
 This time (we take the prize)
 This time (nobody dies)
 Not like the other time
 This time
 Oh, this time
 Oh, this time
 No one breaks your heart
 This time (this time)
 Oh, this time (this time, this time)
 Oh, this time
 Nothing falls apart
 Make a wish
 I will believe
 This time
