This time was different Felt like, I was just a victim And it cut me like a knife When you walked out of my life Now I'm, in this condition And I've, got all the symptoms Of a girl with a broken heart But no matter what you'll never see me cry My mind is

In case you didn't know That I could live this life without you Even though I don't tell you all the time You had my heart a long, long time ago I can't count the times I almost said what's on my mind Just the other day I wrote down all the things I'd say

Hold me in your arms tonight Fill my life with pleasure Let's not waste this precious time This moment's ours to treasure We'll make it last forever When the morning sun appears We'll find our way together There's something in your eyes I see I hold you,

God make me shine like the sun Sometimes I feel like I'm the one God gave me style, God gave me grace God give me style, God give me grace God put a smile on my face Ha-ha, God put this smile on my face It ain't my fault, I just reach for style I'm hot,

Break my arms around the one I love And be forgiven by the time my lover comes Break my arms around my love I'm here to take you now You were right about the end It didn't make a difference How they got to be this way You must have known I'd do this

You only know how to fly And I've made the same mistakes But I won't this time No I won't this time You're a pretty butterfly You keep on passing by You never land inside my hands Your home is in the sky And there's a lesson waiting to be learned

The blade of my knife Faced away from your heart Those last few nights It turned and sliced you apart This love that I tell Now feels lonely as hell From this padded prison cell So many times I said You'd only be mine
