This Time Lyrics

she will let you win
she'll be waiting around
then she'll push you in
and watch you drown

i've heard better to go ahead and let her in
i've been here before
but I'm not coming round again
how can you turn a blind eye when i'm screaming
i want you to hear me this time
turn around take a good look now
cuz i'm leaving
i want you to hear me, I'll be fine

she will rush you in
then slowly back out
when you're suffering
she'll push you down

i've heard better to go ahead and let her in
i've been here before
but I'm not coming round again
how can you turn a blind eye when i'm screaming
i want you to hear me this
time turn around take a good look now
cuz i'm leaving
i want you to hear me, I'll be fine

you never had time to get away
from reasons why
or the things you say
when the moment's not right
you never had time for different ways
you're wondering why
you're still the same
as you break down and cry

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

i can't believe no one has commented on this song!!! when i listen to this song, i imagine this guy completely head over heels for this girl who is scared of relationships...or just used to disfunctional ones...and she's breaking up with him and he's going abosolutely crazy, screaming this, going back and forth between yelling to anyone who'll listen and her. in the last paragraph, he's telling her she doesn't make sense for doing this, and she's crying because she realizes how f-ed up love is to her... anyway, SUCH a good song
