Shanice - This Time Lyrics

(feat. Kiara)

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

[Shanice:]
I fought off heartaches, one by one
And when I was about to give up
I'd realize the day was gone
Everytime 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]

[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 and fades]
