This time will be different

Verse 1
What do you do when you feel like falling?
Do you stand back up or finally call it?
How do I trust the words that you say
When every time I stay you push me away?
You pull me close then shut the door
Leave me wondering what we’re fighting for
I keep searching your eyes for truth
Trying to find the man I once knew

Verse 2
Why do I love someone wearing a mask?
One day I’m yours, the next I have to ask
If the person standing in front of me
Is really the one my heart still sees
Am I lost in my own reality?
Can’t even trust what’s right for me
All you say is “baby I’m sorry”
And suddenly my heart stops being wary

Chorus
This time will be different, yes it will
That’s what you say when the house goes still
You promise the hurt is finally through
And I want so bad to believe in you
This time will be different, yes it will
But I’ve heard those words a thousand times still
Every goodbye turns into “stay”
And somehow I’m right back here again

Verse 3
I’m stuck in a moment that never changes
Walking circles through the same old stages
Hope and heartbreak side by side
Truth and lies I try to hide
You say this time you’ll finally change
That love won’t feel like a hurricane
But promises echo in my mind
From every other broken time

Bridge
Maybe love shouldn’t feel like war
Maybe hearts shouldn’t keep score
Maybe I’m stronger than I know
Maybe one day I’ll let you go

Final Chorus
This time will be different, yes it will
That’s what you whisper when time stands still
You swear the past is finally through
And I still want to believe in you
This time will be different, yes it will
But my heart’s so tired of standing still
If love is real it shouldn’t break
Every single promise we make
