This Time Lyrics

Vanessa Carlton
Heroes and Thieves
This Time
It's 4 am and im wide awake
waiting for the thoughts to fade
and the flickering of all of my mistakes
and as the light starts creeping in
i slowly feel
the day im missing
and i dont even know where to begin

and do i push too hard
i fall too fast
a moment never seems to last
and will i stop long enough to know

cos everybody burns
and when it starts to hurt
i cry
i feel it in my veins
i just cant walk away, this time.

the white circle in my head
it weighs so heavy on my chest
and im crushed by your expectation
only want to do some good
to dumb to know if i could
and i just wanna feel the days i miss

and do i push too hard

and hard enough
why cant i keep my big mouth shut and do
and lead the life that we should

cos everybody burns
and when it starts to hurt i cry
i feel it in my veins
i just cant walk away, this time.

did i say too much again?
im just a girl in a bed
if i tell you my truth
am i getting through?
and it just seems i should confess
and who am i to pretend?
this is more than i can carry

cos everybody burns
and when it starts to hurt
i cry
i feel it in my veins
i just cant walk away, this time

i only end up high
i know ill be alright, this time...

its 4 am and im wide awake
waiting for my thoughts to fade
and its time like these i see your face
