This time

you clutch
you gasp
you don't know what it was
but sure enough you’re running for the door
you slip
it passed
it hurt so bad
please leave me alone

[chorus:]
this time I can feel the tiny little hairs
on the back of my neck stand up
wake up screaming in the night
this time you came too close
but your number ain't up
so stand up, stand up, stand up

eyes of
relief
you don't know what it was
but you don't have to worry anymore
so close
my god
so close
to leaving
leaving me alone

[chorus]

no I can't face it alone
I’m so accident-prone
who will bail me out?
no I’m not ready now
keep it steady now
don’t you dare check out

[chorus]
