This time, this time is my time

My life lies in the base line

You tried to take what was all mine

My pride, I bowed down and I swear

I don't count the tears I've cried

This car has driven its last mile

As you stand on the edge for a love

For somethin' to believe in

Waitin' around all over town

verse 2:
E
I'm ready and you're ready so who cares?

But get the stranger's judgment and mean glares

I always did what I thought had seemed fair

I walked away, saved by the last hair
E
Not easily, my God, I was so scared

Just so you know I can't help that I care

I pray you're well, I just know that I can't

I can't, I can't be afraid
