Ester Dean
This Time
[Verse 1]
Well, I'm mad as hell, ain't gonna take it no more
My bags is packed at the back of your door
'Cause I don't know who I am no more
You won the battle, but you lost the war

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been in denial, now I'm living the truth
Been down for a while
Now I'm standing up to you
Oh, this time

[Chorus]
This time, I'm gonna do it my way
This time, I'm finding out the hard way
This time, I’m gonna go back
To the girl I was on the night you found me
No more holding back the real me
Just wait, in a minute you'll see
This time
The same time
It's my time
I'm getting back to the real me

[Verse 2]
Don't try to stop me with the words you say
'Cause I'm sick and tired of the games you play
I'm gonna free myself, gonna make a change
Like a butterfly, I'mma spread my wings
[Pre-Chorus]
Been crying for too long
Now I'm dryin' my eyes
Grounded for so long
Now it's time for me to fly

[Chorus]
This time
This time, I'm gonna do it my way
This time, I'm finding out the hard way
This time, I’m gonna go back
To the girl I was on the night you found me
No more holding back the real me
Just wait, in a minute you'll see
This time
The same time
It's my time
I'm getting back to the real me

[Bridge]
I'm mad as hell
I can't take it no more
My bags is packed at the back of your door
I promise you this time

[Chorus]
This time, I'm gonna do it my way
This time, I'm finding out the hard way (this time)
This time, I’m gonna go back
To the girl I was on the night you found me
No more holding back the real me
Just wait, in a minute you'll see
This time (this time)
The same time
It's my time
I'm getting back to the real me
This time, I'm gonna do it my way
This time, I'm finding out the hard way
This time, I’m gonna go back
To the girl I was on the night you found me
(Not gonna do it no more)
No more holding back the real me
Just wait, in a minute you'll see
This time
The same time
It's my time
I'm getting back to the real me
[Outro]
Oh, oh
I'm mad as hell, ain't gonna take it no more
