You watched me cry, watched love pass by a thousand times
But all I know, I won't let go; no, not this time
You brought me everything I need
And you, you belong with me
And then things changed and I could crumble to my knees

[Chorus]
But not this time
Not this time
Not this time
Not this time
Time won't pass me by

I fall asleep, photos I keep by my bed
My heart, it lies inside your eyes in my head
You trapped my heart inside a star
And I wish that I knew where you are
And I could pretend that we never came this far

[Chorus]
But not this time
Not this time
Not this time
Not this time
Time won't pass me by

I won't bow down, I won't hit the ground
World's spinning 'round, but I won't...
Bow to you until you come through
And then you choose not to leave me alone

Not this time

[Chorus]
Not this time
Not this time
Not this time
Not this time
Time won't pass me by
