This Time
Vanessa Carlton
Letra

It's 4 AM, and I'm wide awake
Waiting for my thoughts to fade
And 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
And will I stop for long enough to know

That 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 wanna do some good
Too dumb to know if I could

And I just wanna feel the day's 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 like we should?

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?

And did I say too much again?
I'm just a girl in a panic
And if I tell you my truth, what am I getting through?
And it just seems I should confess
And who am I to pretend?
And this is more than I can carry

Cause 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
Ah ah ah

Its 4 AM and I'm wide awake
Waiting for my thoughts to fade
And its times like these I see your face
