You avoid your daddy's disapproving eyes.
|
Your silence hurts like a lover's lie.
|
Your mama walks such a fragile line.
|
The tears will love, but you don't cry.
|
With a trembling hand you wave goodbye.
|
Gonna catch a plane to another life.
|
|
You swore this time,
|
Wouldn't try so hard to please everyone.
|
As you streak across the sky,
|
You feel the loneliness coming on.
|
|
Maybe this time he'll come back with you like he promised to.
|
Maybe this once your star will shine.
|
Maybe he won't break your heart this time.
|
|
And all your life you've heard it said
|
That you could never quite fit in,
|
Till you froze your heart,
|
Acted like you couldn't hear them
|
|
You swore this time,
|
Wouldn't try so hard to please him
|
You show a little pride,
|
But as you touch down you wonder if he's really waiting.
|
|
Oh, maybe this time he'll come back with you like he promised to.
|
Maybe this once your star will shine.
|
Maybe he won't break your heart this time.
|
|
Close your eyes, you see his face.
|
Hear his voice, his skin you taste.
|
Too many nights you spent alone.
|
Your arms just reaching out for someone to hold.
|
|
Maybe this time he'll come back with you like he promised to.
|
Maybe this once your star will shine. (Maybe this time.)
|
Maybe he won't break your heart this time.
|
Maybe he won't break your heart this time.

Maybe This Time
