Shanice - This Time lyrics

rate me

(feat. Kiara)

[Kiara:]

I removed your picture from my wall

Now what used to be a house too big

Is now a room too small

Everytime I close my eyes I'd realize

I couldn't find enough things to do

I never really got over you

[Shanice"]

I wrote you letters

I got no reply

And just when I was walking out on Love

To my surprise

Don't you wanna come inside

Where it's warm and dry

Instead of standing in the doorway

With tears in your eyes

[chorus:]

This time - I won't back down

This time - I'll stand my ground

I don't think you realize

What went on inside

Now I'm never gonna give up

Until I'm back by your side

[Shanice:]

I fought off heartaches, one by one

And when I was about to give up

I'd realize the day was gone

Everytime I'd close my eyes

I'd see you cry

I can't forget the look on your face

Baby when I said goodbye

[Kiara:]

I read your letters each and every night

With intent and pen in hand

I was much too weak to write

Every night I'd pace the floor until

I couldn't take it anymore

I was just about to give up

Then you opened the door

[CHORUS]

[Kiara:]

Before we went wrong, you know

We used to be so right

I know we should surrender to love

But we gave up without a fight

[Shanice:]

I just wanna let you know

I never should've let you go

Boy I wanna be back in your arms

So let's try it once More

[CHORUS: x3 and fades]
