This Time

[Verse 1: Kiara]
I removed your picture from my wall
Now what used to be a house too big
Is now a room too small

Every time I close my eyes
I'd realize
I couldn't find enough things to do
I never really got over you

[Shanice]
I wrote you letters
I got no reply
And just when I was walking out on Love
To my surprise

Don't you wanna come inside
Where it's warm and dry?
Instead of standing in the doorway
With tears in your eyes

[Chorus]
This time
I won't back down
This time
I'll stand my ground

I don't think you realize
What went on inside
Now I'm never gonna give up
Until I'm back by your side

[Verse 2: Shanice]
I fought off heartaches
One by one
And when I was about to give up
I`d realize the day was gone

Every time I'd close my eyes
I'd see you cry
I can't forget the look on your face, baby
When I said goodbye

[Kiara]
I read your letters each and every night
With intent and pen in hand
I was much too weak to write

Every night I'd pace the floor until
I couldn't take it anymore
I was just about to give up
Then you opened the door

[Chorus]
This time
I won't back down
This time
I'll stand my ground

I don't think you realize
What went on inside
Now I'm never gonna give up
Until I'm back by your side

[Saxophone Solo]

[Verse 3: Kiara]
Before we went wrong, you know
We used to be so right
I know we should surrender to love
But we gave up without a fight

[Shanice]
I just wanna let you know
I never should've let you go
Boy, I wanna be back in your arms
So let's try it once more

[Chorus x3]
This time
I won't back down
This time
I'll stand my ground

I don't think you realize
What went on inside
Now I'm never gonna give up
Until I'm back by your side

This time
I won't back down
This time
I'll stand my ground

I don't think you realize
What went on inside
Now I'm never gonna give up
Until I'm back by your side

This time
I won't back down
This time
I'll stand my ground

I don't think you realize
What went on inside
Now I'm never gonna give up
Until I'm back by your side
