Not This Time Lyrics

Intro: C Am F Fm G
I've been sittin' in my bed
With a glass in my hand
Tryin' to figure out a way
For me to understand
To this talk we've just had
The questions I had asked about yesterday
About the sadness in your eyes
But the biggest smile
Are you facing away?
The questions I had asked about how you feel
Only eyes reveal
Your answer's not for real
But I can't read your mind
Not this time
Chorus:
I just want to know what you're going through
I don't feel wrong about asking you
I can't read your mind
Not this time
I know that there are times
When you don't want to say
That there are problems in your head
That you can't explain
I have been that way
Maybe there's a hug or a kiss or two
But not forever do
If only I'd reach you
But I can't read your mind
Not this time
(Repeat Chorus)
Instrumental: C Am F Fm G
Maybe I'm a child
Maybe I'm a woman
Maybe I am old
Maybe I said something
Your reasons to push me away
Maybe I have laughed
Maybe I have cried
But never did I try
To put hurt on your side
But I can't read your mind
Not this time
(Repeat Chorus)
