This Time Around

Lyrics

[Verse] I never thought that I would ever have to be alone I'm feeling empty now, like furniture without a home It's hard, but if I try, my heart will not forget But only carry on [Pre] Momma used to tell me there'd be days like this But I had to learn from experience Never thought my love would sway this way Can't stand to hurt another day It's alright, cause now time's on my side And I can carry on [Hook] This time around, I Won't make the same mistakes boy This time around, I'm Not choosing you over my friends no more This time around, I Need time so that my heart can heal This time around Not giving you the chance to come back and hurt me again [Verse] I wish that you would see sooner That there would be no later You waste my time with your lies And all your manipulating My heart is precious to me Let me go, set me free, babe It's no fun loving on my own [Pre] Momma used to tell me there'd be days like this But I had to learn from experience Never thought my love would sway this way Can't stand to hurt another day It's alright, cause now time's on my side And I can carry on [Hook] This time around, I Won't make the same mistakes boy This time around, I'm Not choosing you over my friends no more This time around, I Need time so that my heart can heal This time around Not giving you the chance to come back and hurt me again [Bridge] I guess in due time Don't know what you've got Till it's gone away Today I'm gonna start a new day I'm gonna take care of me Cause you ain't there for me Until I find someone who's gonna love me Like I need to be loved [Hook] This time around, I Won't make the same mistakes boy This time around, I'm Not choosing you over my friends no more This time around, I Need time so that my heart can heal This time around Not giving you the chance to come back and hurt me again [Reprise] I won't let you hurt me You ain't never gonna hurt me I won't let you hurt me You ain't never gonna hurt me I won't let you hurt me You ain't never gonna hurt me, no Oh baby No
