Vanessa Carlton - This Time lyrics

It's 4 A.M. and I'm wide awake Waiting for my thoughts to fade And a flickering of all of my mistakes And as the light starts creeping in I slowly feel the day I'm missing But I wouldn't even know where to begin Do I push too hard or fall too fast The moment never seems to last And will I stop for long enough to know 'Cause everybody burns And when it starts to hurt I cry I feel it in my veins I just can't walk away This time Your words circle in my head And weigh so heavy on my chest And I'm crushed by your expectation I only want to do some good Too dumb to know if I could And I just wanna feel the days I'm in Do I go too far, not far enough Why can't I keep my big mouth shut? And do we lead the life that we should? And everybody burns And when it starts to hurt I cry I feel it in my veins I just can't walk away This time And did I say too much again I'm just a girl in a panic And if I tell you my truth Am I getting through? It just seems I should confess And who am I to pretend? This is more than I can carry And everybody burns And when it starts to hurt I cry I hold my head up high I know I'll be alright This time I feel it in my veins I just can't walk away This time Ah ah ah (This time) Ah ah ah (This time) Ah ah ah (This time) Ah ah ah (This time) It's 4 A.M. and I'm wide awake Waiting for my thoughts to fade And it's times like these I see your face
