I: This Time

You’ve heard the rumours
About my best friend
So have I
Now he’s late again
It was always work
He couldn’t get through
I sit and wait
Wondering what to do

This timeIt’s gone too farNo more tearsNo more scarsI don’t know whyWe perseveredThis timeIt stops right here

Katie never liked him
She never said why
You deserve better
She said with a sigh
(But) Who’s she to talk
With all her love life
I should call her now
And apologise

This timeIt’s gone too farNo more tearsNo more scarsI don’t know whyWe perseveredThis timeIt stops right hereWhy don’t the copsBust down this doorSecure the scenePick me up off the floorSay I’m not the firstHe’s hurt like thisHe’s been aroundHe’s broken hearts beforeThis timeIt’s gone too farNo more tearsNo more scarsI don’t know whyWe perseveredThis timeIt stops right here

I’m not tired
I could rage all night
But there’s nobody here
No one here to fight
