This Time

This Time

Verse 1

I want you back here with me

You've been gone for such a long time

I am sorry that I pushed you away

Please find it in your heart to forgive me

I should have known what I was doing was wrong

Unfortunately, I can't turn back time

But now I know I won't make the same mistake again

Verse 2

Give me the benefit of the doubt

I will not disappoint you

If you choose to listen to me

You won't regret it

I'll give you an honest answer to any of your questions

I know you won't always be satisfied with the truth

But at least I'm not lying to you

Verse 3

I've never asked you to reconsider your decisions

But I know you should think about this one

I hope you are willing to take a chance on me

Just know that I am not a risk anymore

What I say to you is the real deal

Don't think I am playing a game

Bridge 1

I never treated you with respect

Whenever you had something to say

I always told you to be quiet

But all of that is going to change

Bridge 2

We can work things out together

Only if you are willing to try

I assure you, this is not a scheme

I do not want to lose you once again

Bridge 3

If I fall, I won't pull you down with me

I'm going to take responsibility for myself

Always blaming you won't solve my problems

It just creates a distance between us

Chorus

This time will be different

I'm telling you the truth

This time will be different

That is my promise to you
