Not This Time

Bound to a vow that you once gave

To keep that secret 'til they take you to grave

To all the world you show a smiling face

But inside of you pain burns like hell

Only breaking the silence will break the spell

But inside of you pain burns like hell

Only breaking the silence will break the spell

Twenty years have passed and nothing has changed

For all the world to see your life's well arranged

You've never said a word to anyone

But inside of you pain burns like hell

Only breaking the silence will break the spell

But inside of you pain burns like hell

Only breaking the silence will break the spell

So was he worth your loyalty ?

So was he worth the pain you feel ?

Will you ever see

That your bravery is just slavery ?

So don't be afraid of life

It's good that you're alive

You're still alive

The fault for which you pay is not your own

The silence that you chose turns you into stone

Yours you make the blame, that should be his

But inside of you pain burns like hell

Only breaking the silence will break the spell

But inside of you pain burns like hell

Only breaking the silence will break the spell

So was he worth your loyalty ?

So was he worth the pain you feel ?

Will you ever see

That your bravery is just slavery ?

So don't be afraid of life

It's good that you're alive

And life goes on...

Why can't you forget the shame

Why don't you call him by his name

And point your finger straight at him

Don't be afraid no more

He can't break you

Don't let him break you

He won't break you

Not this time, not this way...
