Story Behind the Song
There are moments when you want to give up. This is a song about one of those moments.
Lyrics
Afraid this time
I knew that sooner or later
this day would come,
I don't care where I'm going
or where I'm from.
Many times I thought I was close to the end,
but this time there's something
that just won't bend.
I've always managed to keep
my tears confined,
I know I've been here before,
but I'm afraid this time.
I've been living in the future
hoping my day will come,
without ever stopping to enjoy
the things that I've done.
I've been waiting to be happy
someplace and somehow,
but the place is here and the time is now.
I've lost everything good that was ever mine,
I know I've been here before,
but I'm afraid this time.
Every girl that I loved simply walked away,
I never really expected
that any one would stay.
I could never love the ones who loved me,
or let myself take comfort
in their sweet company,
but I could always find a friend
in some old poet's lines,
I know I've been here before,
but I'm afraid this time.
Now there's only repetition to fill the days,
and it's too late now to change my ways.
One more dance, one more drunken chase,
I can still feel her body
but can't remember her face,
and every new kiss is a glass of stale wine,
I know I've been here before,
but I'm afraid this time.
