not this time

You knock again at 2 AM
Like ghosts that never learned to end
You say it’s different, say you’ve changed
But your voice still tastes the same
I used to fall for every word
Chasing dreams I never earned
But I’ve grown sharp where I was blind
And I won't rewind this time
You wore regret like cheap cologne
Now I’m better off alone
Not this time — I won’t look back
I’ve burned the bridge, there’s no more track
No more games, no soft disguise
I see the truth behind your eyes
Not this time — I won’t pretend
That you’re the start, not just the end
You lost me once, now watch me climb
You want me back? Not this time
Your favorite lines still echo loud
But I don’t dance beneath your cloud
I’ve found my feet, I’ve found my sound
You lost me when you played around
I used to bend, I used to break
Now I’m the storm you couldn’t take
I’m not a phase, not just a rhyme
I’m walking on — not this time
You made your bed with every lie
So sleep alone — I’ll kiss goodbye
Not this time — I won’t look back
I’ve burned the bridge, there’s no more track
No more games, no soft disguise
I see the truth behind your eyes
Not this time — I won’t pretend
That you’re the start, not just the end
You lost me once, now watch me climb
You want me back? Not this time
I carved my name out of the dark
Lit my path from every spark
I’m not afraid to close the door
I’m not your fool, not anymore
Not this time — I’ve found my fire
I’m rising higher, you’re just a liar
No more echoes, no more signs
This is the end of your design
Not this time — I’m not that girl/guy
I’m not the one who’ll live your lie
You had your chance, you crossed the line
So hear me now: Not. This. Time.
(soft vocal, repeat line)
Not this time…
Not this time…
