This Time

Melanie C This Time Lyrics
1.Understand

I'm looking at the floor
I'm looking anywhere to try
to put my head into
a different place
I'm stopping it before
Before I think about the promise
to myself that
I'm about to break
Fall into daydreams
inside these walls
I must be out of my mind
Cause I don't even know you
But all I do is think
about your face
And I don't wanna call you
But I wish I had your number
just in case
And I never thought someone
could shake melike
you can
Some things weren't
designed to understand
I hope you didn't see
I hope you didn't notice
if you did I hopeyou
looked away
I'll keep it all to me
I'll keep on running cause
it's only when I'm runningthat
I feel safe
As I fall I must be out of my mind
Cause I don't even know you
But all I do is think
about your face
And I don't wanna call you
But I wish I had your number
just in case
And I never thought someone
could shake melike
you can
Some things weren't designed
to understand
TV shows and cars that
won't slow down
I should be looking for a chance
but don't know how
Disillusion never let me down
Don't lose it now, don't lose it
I don't even know you
But all I do is think about your face
And I don't wanna call you
But I wish I had your number
just in case
And I never thought someone
could shake melike
you can
Some things weren't designed
to understand
Some things weren't designed
to understand


2.What If I Stay

Calling on my senses
I can't see or taste
or feel you anymore
And every day I'm calling on my
inner strength
to fight for something
one worth fighting for
Maybe its life in the real world,
maybe it's all been my fault
What if I go, what if I leave,
what if I show you
how you're breaking me
And I know, whatever I say,
I'll still be thinking
.what if I stay
Staring at the stars
I make a wish that
I could travel back in time
I lie awake just looking at your face
and I remember
how you used to look at mine
Maybe its life in the real world,
maybe it's all been your fault
What if I go, what if I leave,
what if I show you
how you're breaking me
And I know, whatever I say,
I'll still be thinking.
what if I stay
What if I'm sorry,
what if I love you

What if I go, what if I leave,
what if I show you
how you're breaking me
And I kno-ow, whatever I say,
I'll still be thinking
.What if I stay


3.Protected

Do you spend your life
hiding in the shadows?
Terrified of letting down your guard
Do you fantasise of glorious tomorrows
Come alive you're perfect as you are
Careless lies will hurt you no more
'til the angels cry and the music dies
You and I will be protected
'til this earth burns out and
stops turning round
I will keep you protected
We're protected
Walk away from those who
bring you sorrow
Take a chance I know you still believe
Letting go of everything
you can't control
Open up the life you long to lead
Precious heart unlock the door
'til the angels cry and
the music dies...
You and I will be protected
'til this earth burns out and
stops turning round
I will keep you protected
Every moment you're affected
By a light so divine
From the darkness we're protected
With the truth in our hearts
we can shine
'til the angels cry and
the music dies...
You and I will be protected
'til this earth burns out and
stops turning round
I will keep you protected
'til the angels cry and the music dies
You and I will be protected
'til this earth burns out and
stops turning round
I will keep you protected


4.This Time

I've been practicing all day
Now the words I meant to say are gone
I promised that I wouldn't cry
Told myself I had to try and hold on
The truth, I lied
I hate myself inside
And why
I played the game and paid the price
I never look back
I never cry never try to wonder why
I'll be on my own
And never doubt, never shout
or wonder how
I'll never be lonely until
This time, this time, this time
This time I will
I've been wide awake all night
There's no sign of sleep
inside my mind
The headlight shadows scan my wall
I convince myself
you'll call in time
The truth, I lied
The girl in me has died
And why
I played the game and paid the price
I never look back...
I never look back
I never cry never try to wonder why
I'll be on my own
And never doubt, never shout
or wonder how
I'll never be lonely until
This time, this time, this time
This time I will
This time I will be yours completely
This time I'll make sure
you don't hate me
This time I know,
this time I can and this time
I will
I never look back...
I never cry never try to wonder why
I'll be on my own
And never doubt, never shout
or wonder how
I'll never be lonely until
This time, this time, this time
This time I will
I never look back
I never cry never try to wonder why
I'll be on my own
And never doubt, never shout
or wonder how
I'll never be lonely until
This time, this time, this time
This time I will
I've been practicing all day
Now the words I meant
to say are gone.


5.Carolyna

Just another girl with a dream
in her heart
Wanna make a new start with
a fire inside of her
She had to go
She couldn't stay around,
everybody let her down
Stole the light and the life
and the child inside of her
She's so alone
Running for the train
Take her far away from
everything she knows
And the way they make her feel
She leaves today
Never look back never lose track
already strong
She's seen too much at seventeen
The past will fade
with the future that she craves
Carolyna you travel so far
Trying to escape the pain,
start again where you are
Carolyna you keep
following your star
Nobody said you're beautiful,
you're beautiful the way you are
Finally you're free
where you long to be
But it won't take long
till hits reality
The streets are cold
Big, bad city gonna eat you up
Hard to survive, hard
to keep your sanity
Still feeling low
But she's never going home
Carolyna you travel so far...
Trying to escape the pain,
start again where you are
Carolyna you keep
following your star
Nobody said you're beautiful,
you're beautiful the way you are
She tries to rest
All she needs is a warm caress
All she wants is happiness
Carolyna you travel so far...
Trying to escape the pain,
start again where you are
Carolyna you keep
following your star
Nobody said you're beautiful,
you're beautiful the way you are
Carolyna you travel so far
Trying to escape the pain,
start again where you are
Carolyna you keep
following your star
Nobody said you're beautiful,
you're beautiful the way you are
Carolyna you travel so far


6.Forever Again

Sometimes I try sometimes I don't
Sometimes the way I feel
inside is gonna show
You know we're all the same
I know you're tired
you try to talk
But you think I don't
hear you anymore
Here it comes again
But sometimes you just
take it too far
You can shoot me down
and call me names
Scream until the neighbours
all complain
I know you'll tell your friends
it's all my fault
And I will take the blame
But give me back forever again
Sometimes you try sometimes you don't
Sometimes the way you feel
inside is gonna show
But some things never change
So walk away and count to ten
Say how you feel don't
say that again
We'll find another way
Cause you don't have to
take it so far
You can shoot me down and
call me names
Scream until the neighbours
all complain
And I know you'll tell your
friends it's all my fault
And I will take the blame
But give me back forever again
If feels like I'm breathing
under water
It feels like I'm watching my
whole world crash
And you can say you don't know
if you love me
But never that you never have
You can shoot me down and
call me names
Scream until the neighbors
all complain
I know you'll tell your friends
it's all my fault
And I will take the blame
Just give me back forever again.


7.Your Mistake

I should concentrate on slowing down
Cause all I wanna do is drive fast
I don't think I know my way around
I'm seeing what
I've already passed
I've been racing through
my life without
Really knowing where I fit in
It's only dreams
and my reflection now
Where I still see him
I might break
I'm all that's left from
your mistake
I'm still trying
to prove myself to you
I can't escape from
this as fast as you
All these years don't
fade away my feelings
I only see us leaving
I convince myself I understand
So there isn't anybody to blame
If you'd tried and
played a different hand
I wonder if I'd still be the same
All this time
I've watched you moving on
Running from the way that we were
Even though I know the girl is gone
You still see her
I might break...
I'm all that's left from
your mistake
I'm still trying
to prove myself to you
I can't escape from
this as fast as you
All these years don't
fade away my feelings
I only see us leaving
I'm not frozen I just
feel the cold
When all these memories
open up again
I might break
I'm all that's left
from your mistake
I'm still trying
to prove myself to you
I can't escape from this
as fast as you
You see him gone
I only see us leaving
See us leaving
I only see us leaving
See us leaving


8.The Moment You Believe

Time to face what you're hiding from
Don't have to do this on your own
Together we are strong
We don't need anyone
No matter what they say
The time has come
I'm ready now to start a new beginning
With all our hopes and all our dreams
And I know the stars will shine for you
and for me
From the moment you believe
I know they think that I'm no good for you
But we both know that they're wrong
Together we can fight
Show everyone we're right
I don't care what they say
Our time has come
I'm ready now to start a new beginning
With all our hopes and all our dreams
And I know the stars will shine for you
and for me
From the moment you believe
When you believe
there's nothing you can't overcome
When you believe
the earth is brighter than the sun
I believe
(When you believe there's nothing
you can't overcome)
(I believe)
I'm ready now to start a new beginning
With all our hopes and all our dreams
And I
I know the stars will shine for you
and for me
From the moment you believe


9.Don't Let Me Go (feat. Adam Argyle)

There's times when fake
goodbyes made you cry
But this time you don't
And I was only joking
I was broken
when you told me to go
Don't make up the wrong mind
Don't forget the good times
Let me stay a little longer
cause if I'm gone-
I can't make it right
In just one night we could
go back in time maybe
Go back and find where
we both went wrong
It won't take long I know
Don't let me go
Oh don't let me go
I'm not giving up
I'm still in love,
is all I need you to say
And I don't need an answer
just a chanceto
Make the pain go away
So don't make up the wrong mind
Don't forget the good times
Let me stay a little longer
cause if I'm gone-
I can't make it right...
In just one night we could
go back in time maybe
Go back and find where
we both went wrong
It won't take long I know
Don't let me go
Oh don't let me go
I beg you to find what it
takes to forgive meof
All my mistakes
Cause if I walk out of your life
There'll be no way back this time
Don't let me go
Don't make up the wrong mind
Don't forget the good times
Stay a little longer cause
if I'm gone
I can't make it right
In just one night we could
go back in time maybe
Go back and find where
we both went wrong
It won't take long I know
Don't let me go
Oh don't let me go.


10.Immune

If you see me and I look away
Please don't ask me
There's nothing to say about
the way that I feel
It's hard to conceal when
it's in my eyes
If I tell you that I'm doin' fine
Please believe me
It may be a lie but
I've got to move on
I've got to be strong
Now what else can I do?
Cause I've been
Wanting waiting hoping praying
Oh I feel like I'm suffocating
There's nothing left to lose
If all that I have is the
sweetest denial
If all I can give is
the rest of my life
Then I'm over pretending
That I can survive without you
Thought I was stronger than love
But I guess that nobody's immune

There's a poison
That runs through my veins
when I'm sleeping
And just like a secret
That I try to keep
I buried too deep
Like the memories of you
But I'm still here
Wanting waiting hoping praying
Oh I feel like I'm suffocating
There's nothing left to lose
If all that I have is
the sweetest denial...
If all I can give is
the rest of my life
Then I'm over pretending
That I can survive without you
Thought I was stronger than love
But I guess that nobody's immune

If all that I have is the
sweetest denial
If all I can give is
the rest of my life
Then I'm over pretending
That I can survive without you
Thought I was stronger than love
But I guess that nobody's immune
If all that I have is the
sweetest denial
If all I can give is
the rest of my life
Then I'm over pretending
That I can survive without you
Thought I was stronger than love
But I guess that nobody's immune


11.May Your Heart

May your heart be never alone when
The dawn's breaking
May your life be a rolling stone when
The ground starts shaking
And the world is waking
All I can tell you is to
know who you are
And if they hurt you they can
never do you harm
And if you want to you can
love 'em till
The cold turns warm
May your kiss always feel
like the first kisses
And may your truth help you heal
May you catch big fishes and get
all your wishes
All I can tell you is
to know who you are...
And if they hurt you they can
never do you harm
And if you want to you can
love 'em till
The cold turns warm

If you want me (I will be there)
If you need me (I will be there)
If you want me (I will be there)
Can you hear me?
If you're waiting (I will be there)
Your heart's aching (I will be there)
If you need me (I will be there)
Can you hear me?
And when you're lonely (I will be there)
When you call me (I will be there)
If you need me (I will be there)
Believe me I'm going nowhere
May your heart be never alone.


12.Out Of Time

What if this is nearly over?
Everything coming to an end
As I see fading colours
Finding it harder to pretend
No one can take away the days
that we conquered
They hang like shadows in my mind
Everything I thought
Everything I felt
Thank God that's over
Reading the signs
We're out of time
There is always a new story
Another player in the game
Can I rise to a new glory?
Or will these demons keep me chained?
Sometimes fear consumes my
every emotion
So I'm drifting with the tide
Everything I am
Everything I did
With total devotion
Reading the signs
We're out of time
The sun will still rise
Maybe shine a little bit brighter
No matter what they say
We can reach a little bit higher
Shake away the chains
We can do this together
I know with you by my side
We'll be alright
The sun is gonna rise...
Maybe shine a little bit brighter
No matter what they say
We can reach a little bit higher
Shake away the chains
We can do this together
We'll be alright
I know with you by my side


13.I Want Candy (Bonus Track)

I know a girl who's tough but sweet
She's so fine, she can't be beat
Got everything that I desire
Sets the summer sun on fire
I want Candy, I want Candy
Go to see her when
the sun is down
Ain't no finer girl in town
Candy's just what
the doctor ordered
Shes so sweet,
she makes my mouth water
I want Candy, I want Candy
Ohhh, I want Candy, Ohhh
Hey
I want Candy, Candy,
I want Candy
Her hair hang down
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey
Candy on the beach,
there's nothing better
But I like Candy when
it's wrapped in a sweater
Some day soon
I'll make you mine,
Then I'll have Candy
all the time
I want Candy, I want Candy
I want Candy, I want Candy
Hey, Hey,... - I want Candy
Ohh, yeehh
Ohh, yeehh - Want Candy
