Sound the Beat - Not This Time

(Verse 1) I gave you love, I gave you trust, But you threw it all away like dust. Every tear, every fight, every sleepless night, Now you’re standing here, saying you’ll do it right. (Pre-Chorus) But I’ve heard it all before, Same old lines, same old war. Now you’re begging on your knees, But baby, that don’t work on me. (Chorus) Not this time, I’m walking away, No more games, no more pain. You can cry, you can plead, But I won’t fall, I won’t bleed. Not this time, not again, This is where our story ends. I won’t break, I won’t bend, Not this time—this is the end. (Verse 2) You say you've changed, but I see through, All the pretty words mean nothing new. Love ain't chains, love ain't lies, And I’m done falling for your alibis. (Pre-Chorus) I’m not the girl I used to be, I’ve found my strength, I’ve found me. Now you’re knocking at my door, But I don’t live here anymore. (Chorus) Not this time, I’m walking away, No more games, no more pain. You can cry, you can plead, But I won’t fall, I won’t bleed. Not this time, not again, This is where our story ends. I won’t break, I won’t bend, Not this time—this is the end. (Bridge) Go ahead, call my name, But I’m not playing in your game. Go ahead, say you’re lost, But you should’ve thought before the cost. (Chorus – Final) Not this time, I’m walking away, No more games, no more pain. You can cry, you can plead, But I won’t fall, I won’t bleed. Not this time, not again, This is where our story ends. I won’t break, I won’t bend, Not this time—this is the end. (Outro) So don’t wait, don’t hope, I won’t turn around, I won’t choke. I found my light, I found my way, And I’m never looking back again.
