"This Time" by Céline Dion had an effect on me the moment I first heard it. I hope it does the same for you.
Here, Céline talks about her feelings toward this emotional song during her recording sessions. Below is the full song followed by the lyrics.
"This Time" - Céline Dion
One more hour burns
So scared of his return
That I can't sleep tonight
In this hospital light
What you call a tragedy
Is just another day to me
For my heart beats with fear
As his footsteps draw near
The life I meant to lead
Won't slip away from me
'Cuz this time's the last time
I know that my eyes have seen too much
This nightmare is not fair
And I've had enough
(And I've had enough)
You break me, and as I bleed
You just say you're sorry
You call this love?
But this time your lies
Are not enough
This time...
There's nothing left of this
Your wispered words and empty threats
Rip away the seams of what I thought this would be
The last thread has come undone
To reveal what I've become
Another victim of a poison love
I've been afraid for years
But that won't keep me here
'Cuz this time's the last time
I know that my eyes have seen too much
This nightmare is not fair
And I've had enough
(And I've had enough)
You break me
To just say you're sorry
You call this love?
But this time your lies
Are not enough
This time...
And what remains a mystery
You cannot have the best of me
So I'm taking back
All you took from me
'Cuz this time's the last time
I know that my eyes have seen too much
This nightmare is not fair
And I've had enough
(And I've had enough)
You break me
To just say you're sorry
You call this love?
But this time your lies
Are not enough
This time...
So scared of his return
That I can't sleep tonight
In this hospital light
What you call a tragedy
Is just another day to me
For my heart beats with fear
As his footsteps draw near
The life I meant to lead
Won't slip away from me
'Cuz this time's the last time
I know that my eyes have seen too much
This nightmare is not fair
And I've had enough
(And I've had enough)
You break me, and as I bleed
You just say you're sorry
You call this love?
But this time your lies
Are not enough
This time...
There's nothing left of this
Your wispered words and empty threats
Rip away the seams of what I thought this would be
The last thread has come undone
To reveal what I've become

But that won't keep me here
'Cuz this time's the last time
I know that my eyes have seen too much

But this time your lies
Are not enough
This time...
