This Time

I liked the way you kept me 'round as your weakness
Keychains and flowers couldn't fix what I was
Silence and habit made me think we could keep this away
From the fray, left with nothing to say
My mama said those who don't listen will feel this
What doesn't kill me makes me worse than I was
If I close my eyes, then it still feels like the first kiss
Around for the sound, but I'm bringing you down

Maybe this time was the last time
I think we're running out of luck
Maybe enough was just too much
Thinking this time it could be fine
I think I'm falling out of touch
My words are always off the cuff, yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah

Keep changing faces just to keep this a secret
Heavy sedation makes me feel like we're fine
I carved your name into my brain like a deep cut
It bleeds, then recedes, I give up, I concede
Breaking your trust, pretending we didn't need this
I dance around you just to lighten the mood
Colorful phrasing couldn't help, we're defeated
Around for the sound, but I'm bringing ya down

Maybe this time was the last time
I think we're running out of luck
Maybe enough was just too much
Thinking this time it could be fine
I think I'm falling out of touch
My words are always off the cuff, yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah

Nothing is quite the same
But we just keep avoiding this
Speak slowly, couldn't know me
We won't confront the past
Despite the fact that if we don't
Then this won't last

Maybe this time was the last time
I think we're running out of luck
Maybe enough was just too much
Thinking this time it could be fine
I think I'm falling out of touch
My words are always off the cuff
Maybe this time was the last time
I think we're running out of luck
Maybe enough was just too much
Thinking this time it could be fine
I think I'm falling out of touch
My words are always off the cuff, yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
