Maybe This Time
You avoid your daddy's disapproving eyes.
Your silence hurts like a lover's lie.
Your mama walks such a fragile line.
The tears will love, but you don't cry.
With a trembling hand you wave goodbye.
Gonna catch a plane to another life.
You swore this time,
Wouldn't try so hard to please everyone.
As you streak across the sky,
You feel the loneliness coming on.
Maybe this time he'll come back with you like he promised to.
Maybe this once your star will shine.
Maybe he won't break your heart this time.
And all your life you've heard it said
That you could never quite fit in,
Till you froze your heart,
Acted like you couldn't hear them
You swore this time,
Wouldn't try so hard to please him
You show a little pride,
But as you touch down you wonder if he's really waiting.
Oh, maybe this time he'll come back with you like he promised to.
Maybe this once your star will shine.
Maybe he won't break your heart this time.
Close your eyes, you see his face.
Hear his voice, his skin you taste.
Too many nights you spent alone.
Your arms just reaching out for someone to hold.
Maybe this time he'll come back with you like he promised to.
Maybe this once your star will shine. (Maybe this time.)
Maybe he won't break your heart this time.
Maybe he won't break your heart this time.
Quizás Esta Vez
Evitas la mirada desaprobadora de tu papá.
Tu silencio duele como una mentira de amante.
Tu mamá camina en una línea tan frágil.
Las lágrimas amarán, pero tú no lloras.
Con una mano temblorosa te despides.
Vas a tomar un avión hacia otra vida.
Juraste esta vez,
No intentar tan duro complacer a todos.
Mientras surcas el cielo,
Sientes la soledad acercándose.
Quizás esta vez él regrese contigo como prometió.
Quizás esta vez tu estrella brille.
Quizás esta vez no rompa tu corazón.
Y toda tu vida has escuchado decir
Que nunca encajabas del todo,
Hasta que congelaste tu corazón,
Actuaste como si no pudieras escucharlos.
Juraste esta vez,
No intentar tan duro complacerlo.
Muestras un poco de orgullo,
Pero al aterrizar te preguntas si realmente está esperando.
Oh, quizás esta vez él regrese contigo como prometió.
Quizás esta vez tu estrella brille.
Quizás esta vez no rompa tu corazón.
Cierra los ojos, ves su rostro.
Escuchas su voz, saboreas su piel.
Demasiadas noches pasaste sola.
Tus brazos solo buscando a alguien para abrazar.
Quizás esta vez él regrese contigo como prometió.
Quizás esta vez tu estrella brille. (Quizás esta vez.)
Quizás esta vez no rompa tu corazón.
Quizás esta vez no rompa tu corazón.
