Not This Time (Begging)

Print

WITH EVERY SPOKEN WORD you drive me away

putrid and vile words CUT MY HEART

as the pieces fall to the ground

YOU SCREAM I hate you, HATE YOU

NOW HERE WE ARE AGAIN

LIKE SO MANY TIMES BEFORE

I AM BEGGING YOU FOR MERCY

YOU SAY YOU'RE SORRY

I BELIEVE YOU TIME AND TIME AGAIN

BUT NOT THIS TIME, THIS TIME YOU'RE THE ONE LEAVING BLOODY AND BEATEN

every punch you throw REMINDS ME OF THE LIFE I wish I had

i am just a stain, ONE YOU CAN'T REMOVE

like the scars I have learned TO WEAR SO WELL

always hiding behind this crimson mask, THAT YOU HAVE CREATED

not this time, not this time

Not This Time, Not This Time

NOT THIS TIME

HERE WE ARE AGAIN

LIKE SO MANY TIMES BEFORE

I AM BEGGING YOU FOR MERCY

YOU SAY YOU'RE SORRY

I BELIEVE YOU TIME AND TIME AGAIN

BUT NOT THIS TIME, THIS TIME YOU'RE THE ONE LEAVING BLOODY AND BEATEN

THIS TIME, you are the one leaving

THIS TIME, you are the one that will hurt

I AM NOT AFRAID OF YOU

you have LOST YOUR POWER OVER ME

WITH EVERY PUNCH I throw harder

watching the blood flow WASHING AWAY MY PAIN

EACH OF BROKEN TOOTH heals another scar

every open wound ON YOUR FACE

closes another wound IN MY HEART

your screams SATISFY MY LONGING FOR RETRIBUTION

HERE WE ARE AGAIN UNLIKE NONE OF THE TIMES BEFORE

NOW YOU'RE THE ONE BEGGING FOR MY FORGIVENESS

BUT NOT THIS TIME.
