This Time Lyrics

These walls and all these picture frames
Every name they show
These halls I've walked a thousand times
Heartbreaks and valentines, friends of mine all know

I look at everything I was
And everything I ever loved
And I can see how much I've grown
And though the mirror doesn't see it
It's clear to me, I feel it

I can make it on my own

I'm not afraid of moving on and letting go
It's just so hard to say goodbye to what I know
I know

[Refrain]
This time, no one's gonna say goodbye
I keep you in this heart of mine
This time, I know it's never over
No matter who or what I am
I'll carry where we all began
This time that we had I will hold forever

This old familiar place is where every face is another part of me
I played a different game then
They called me a different name then
I think of all the things I did
And how I wish I knew what I know now

I see how far I've come and what I got right
When I was looking for that spotlight
I was looking for myself
Got over what I was afraid of
I showed them all that I was made of
More than trophies on a shelf

For all the battles that we lost or might have won
I never stopped believing in the words we've sung
We've sung

[Refrain]
This time, no one's gonna say goodbye
I keep you in this heart of mine
This time, I know it's never over
No matter who or what I am
I'll carry where we all began
This time that we had I will hold forever

I'm looking out from the crossroads
I don't know how far away I will roam
I take a breath, I close my eyes
Yeah, your voice will carry me home

[Refrain]
I keep you in this heart of mine
This time, I know it's never over
No matter who or what I am
I'll carry where we all began
This time that we had I will hold
This time that we had I will hold
This time that we had I will hold
Forever, forever
