This Time

(アルバム： This Time Around 2 - 2022)

Mm-mm, oh, no, no, no
This time

Maybe this time I get this right
I've been down and I've been out, I almost drowned
And then my tears dried and I could see right, yeah
Yeah, I can see why
I've been out of focus, I can tell I'm broken
I've been feeling lonely, can You tell me that I'm chosen?
Tell me that I'm Yours, I'm insecure, didn't You notice?
Tell me that You love me, like I don't already know it

Everybody acting like they all okay
Guess that I'm the only one that's in their own way
Keeping to myself like I'm the only one left
And wonder why I'm out here by myself (Ah, ah)
Every scar has turned my heart into a lock (Ooh, oh-oh)
Know the key is give You all I got (Oh-oh)
Even when it's hard to talk, feel like it's my fault
Even if I'm wrong, tell me I belong
Say You won't leave me asking for help
Say that You need me all to Yourself
It's never easy, You say "Just believe me"
So I'm believing this time

Maybe this time I get this right
I've been down and I've been out, I almost drowned
And then my tears dried and I could see right, yeah
Yeah, I can see why
I've been out of focus, I can tell I'm broken
I've been feeling lonely, can You tell me that I'm chosen?
Tell me that I'm Yours, I'm insecure, didn't You notice?
Tell me that You love me, like I don't already know it

Oh, no, no, no, mm-hmm
Oh, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no, yeah

Broken home means broken promise, left me broke like empty pockets
No direction, out of options, all alone to face these problems
So I'm drowning in these feelings, I can't swim inside my tears
No secure attachment, I'm detached from what is real
I don't fight that, I just fight fears
What's on the inside, you can't see in a mirror
Back in my own mind, back in my own
Back and I'm on mine, yeah, now I'm on
'Cause I remember my anxiety and life with no sobriety
Sip syrup with Aunt Jemima all while Uncle Tito fights with me
Life in isolation can get cold alone like hide and seek
Probably would've froze if I had banked on someone finding me
So I put it in the light, nothing left in the dark
Exposing all the hurt so I can patch a broken heart
Now I'm back in my own mind, God took His own time
Say it when you feel it, open up to healing this time

Maybe this time I get this right
I've been down and I've been out, I almost drowned
And then my tears dried and I could see right, yeah
Yeah, I can see why
I've been out of focus, I can tell I'm broken
I've been feeling lonely, can You tell me that I'm chosen?
Tell me that I'm Yours, I'm insecure, didn't You notice?
Tell me that You love me, like I don't already know it

Oh, no, no, no, mm-hmm
Oh, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no
