LYRICS

One more hour burns
So scared of his return
That I can't sleep tonight
In this hospital light
What you call a tragedy
Is just another day to me
For my heart beats with fear
As his footsteps draw near

The life I meant to lead
Won't slip away from me

'Cuz this time is the last time
I know that my eyes have seen too much
This nightmare is not fair
And I've had enough
You break me, and as I bleed
You just say you're sorry
You call this love?
But this time your lies
Are not enough
This time

There's nothing left of this
Your whispered words and empty threats
Rip away the seams of what I though this would be
The last thread has come undone
To reveal what I've become
Another victim of a poison love

I've been afraid for years
but that won't keep me here

'Cuz this time is the last time
I know that my eyes have seen too much
This nightmare is not fair
And I've had enough
You break me
To just say you're sorry
You call this love?
But this time your lies
Are not enough
This time

What remains a mystery
You can not have the best of me
So I'm taking back
All you took from me

'Cuz this time is the last time
I know that my eyes have seen too much
This nightmare is not fair
And I've had enough
You break me
To just say you're sorry
You call this love?
But this time your lies
Are not enough
This time

I have no clue why this song was not released as a single. Such a fabulous song, could have been a huge hit.. It deserved to be released as a single..

This song is so emotional. The first time I heard it I had chills from head to toe and tears were steadily flowing from my eyes. "This Time" is my favorite song on the album. Domestic violence exists and its a shame that it does. Maybe, just maybe this song gave someone the courage to stand up and say, "I've had enough, no more." The powerful message within the lyrics needs to be heard more often. Bringing attention to something as horrific as Domestic Violence is a start. God Bless anyone who has been abused. I hope they find their way in life. May their road to recovery be that one of honesty, truth and healing.

"Laugh when you can,
apologize when you should,
and let go of what you can't change.

Kiss slowly,
play hard,
forgive quickly,
take chances,
give everything
and have no regrets.

Life's too short to be anything…but happy".

J'ai deja été victime de violence conjugal. Cette chanson me rapelle le moment ou je l'ai quitté. Elle me ramène au courage et à la force que ça m'a pris pour le faire. Le ton de voix de Céline à la fois enragé mais aussi determiné me rapelle vraiment dans quelle état j'était! Merci d'avoir fait cette chanson elle me fait vraiment beaucoup de bien!

I'm 21, and I've been on my own and supporting myself for almost two years. Although I know this song is about an abusive husband, every word speaks directly to me about my abusive father. He was a cumplusive liar, and he made life for my younger sister and I very painful for many years as our mom died when I was 9. I completely relate to this song, and it reminds me that i've broken away from his control, and I am working towards having a better life. I gradute from college this year, and I see positive things ahead.

Elle me rapelle la fois que mon père est rentré d'urgence à l'hôpital cette été...il avait été frappé par un arbre. Il a passer à un cheveux de se faire tuer et les médecins disent qu'il est très chanceux puisque les autres cas comme celui-ci, les gens sont sortie mort ou plus capable de marcher et mon père lui marche encore...et deux semaine plus la tard mon grand-père est mort d'un anévrysme de l'aorte donc notre séjour a l'hôpital a été dur, long et pénible!!

One of the truest, hardest and most beautiful songs ever... not just by Celine. I had once been abused myself, and some friends of mine also have... mentally and physically. Songs can help, they do. I absolutely love this song... I couldn't stop crying watching the making-of and listening to Celine's comments.
