Maybe This Time

I give you love

you turn away

then wonder why it is nobody

ever stays

you've have been hurt

but so's the world been hurt a million times before

don't you close the door

and maybe this time you'll find the other key that

opens up another door

and finds someone comes back for more

maybe this time

the cards will treat you right

deal a little magic in the middle of some lonely night

maybe this time

this time

I always smile

act cavilier

but what i feel behind the smiles a little fear

i'm just like you

nobody's fool

whenever someone gets to close

i play it cool

but maybe this time

we'll find the other key

that opens up another door and find someone comes back

for more

maybe this time

this time

you turn to go but then you hesitate

I wonder can I make you wait

aren't we a pair

afraid to care

but maybe this time

we'll find the other key

that opens up another door

and find someone comes back for more

maybe this time

the cards will treat us right

deal a little magic

in the middle of some lonely night

maybe this time

this time's for real
