"Not This Time" was written after severing a relationship with a friend who had become a vortex of negative energy.

Haunting, piano-based confessional of a friendship gone awry and a reclaimation of power.

Lyrics

Well now what can I say
It was bound to go this way again
Nothing reaped, but nothing sowed
Nothing gained except control again
In my mind I see your face
I see the pain and I try to erase
Just what you meant to me
Oh and here we go down the road
to where we've been before
And I'm tryin' to forget

I thought that you'd stay this time
But I forgot that I was never going to settle
for less
No, not this time

Well, now what did I expect
Did I not know you'd suck my breath away again
No one's right, no one's wrong
We just both are who we are, yeah
In your mind I'm someone who
Never quite came through for you
But that's your interpretation
Oh and here we go down the road
Of no return
And I'm starting to forget

I thought that you'd stay this time
But I forgot that I was never going to settle

I thought that you'd stay this time
But I forgot that I was never going to settle

Well, now what can I say
It was bound to go this way
