NOT THIS TIME

As the past 

Finds its way back 

To haunt me

Through the pictures 

I'm holding

In my hands

I realize 

This time

It's most welcome

And this time

Yeah, this time

I'll give it

A chance

~~~*Chorus*~~~

A chance to rendezvous ...

Break loose brutal ties

Set free buried memories

and bare them to my mind

This time I smile

I miss you child

I did not cry

No tears to wipe

this time

~~*~~

All the while

I dare to hope

You'll need me

The photographs

Aren't the last

We will share

Walls disappear

This time

I know I'm stronger

And this time

Yeah, this time

I'll demand

What's fair

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

Won't let them push me away

Won't let them keep us apart

This time you will hear the truth

And I'm sorry if it breaks your heart

I'll mend it with this love of mine

 Cause I'm what's missing in your life

No, I'm not leaving you behind

Not this time

~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~

The past has rendezvoused..

Tore loose brutal ties

Set free buried memories

and bared them to my mind

This time I smiled

I miss you child

I did not cry

No tears to wipe

this time

~~*~~

No, no, no

Not this time

~~*~~
