Maybe This Time Lyrics

You avoid your daddy's disapproving eyes
Your silence hurts like a lover's lie
Your mama walks such a fragile lineThe tears will love, but you don't cry
With a trembling hand you wave goodbye
Gonna catch a plane to another lifeYou swore this time wouldn't try so hard to please everyone
As you streak across the sky
You feel the loneliness coming onMaybe this time he'll come back
With you like he promised to
Maybe this once your star will shine
Maybe he won't break your heart this timeAnd all your life you've heard it said
That you could never quite fit in
Till you froze your heart
Acted like you couldn't hear themYou swore this time wouldn't try so hard to please him
You show a little pride but as you touch down
You wonder if he's really waitingOh, maybe this time he'll come back
With you like he promised to
Maybe this once your star will shine
Maybe he won't break your heart this timeClose your eyes, you see his face

Hear his voice, his skin you taste
Too many nights you spent alone
Your arms just reaching out for someone to holdMaybe this time he'll come back with you like he promised to
Maybe this once your star will shine
(Maybe this time)
Maybe he won't break your heart this time
Maybe he won't break your heart this time
