歌词
[Verse 1-Soft, slow ballad rhythm, focus on the lead vocal]
I've been down this road before,
Waiting on your call,
Hoping you'd remember me,
But I won't fall, no more.
(No, I won't fall, no more)
I used to text you every day,
Just to see if you were there,
But now I've learned the hard way,
I won't give in, I swear.
(I won’t give in, I swear)
[Pre-Chorus- Build intensity, add light percussion and rap vocals]
You want me? Then show me,
No more games, no more lies,
I've given all I could,
Now it's your turn to try.
(Now it's your turn to try)
It’s your turn to try!!
[Chorus- Full band, strong rhythm, driving beat]
This time, I won't wait by the phone,
I won't be the one who's left alone,
No more chasing after shadows in the night,
If you want me, better make it right.
(Make it right)
This time, I'm holding my own,
You want me? Show me, don't just throw me a bone,
I'm done with being just another name,
This time, I won't play your game.
(No, I won't play your game)
[Verse 2-Return to a softer dynamic, with a steady rhythm]
I won't be your afterthought,
The one you call at midnight,
If you want to be with me,
You better step into the light.
(Step into the light)
I've given all my heart could take,
Now it's your move to make,
No more waiting in the wings,
I'm done with all those foolish things.
(All those foolish things)
[Pre-Chorus-Gradually increase intensity again]
You want me? Then show me,
No more games, no more lies,
I've given all I could,
Now it's your turn to try.
Now it's your turn to try!!
(This time i won’t trust your word)
[Chorus-Full band returns, with more emphasis on rhythm]
This time, I won't wait by the phone,
I won't be the one who's left alone,
No more chasing after shadows in the night,
If you want me, better make it right.
(Make it right)
This time, I'm holding my own,
You want me? Show me, don't just throw me a bone,
I'm done with being just another name,
This time, I won't play your game. (No, I won't play your game)
[Bridge-Just vocals and light instrumentation]
No more tears, no more cries,
I won't be fooled by pretty lies,
If you want me in your life,
You better fight, you better try.
(You better fight, you better try)
[Final chorus, build to the song’s climax, powerful delivery]
This time, I'm holding my own,
You want me? Show me, don't just throw me a bone,
I'm done with being just another name,
This time, I won't play your game.
This time, i won’t wait by the phone.
This time, i’m stronger on my own.
You want me? Then show me, ir just let me go.
