Mean It This Time
Eternal Commitment: Carly Pearce's Journey to True Love
Lyrics
Well, I meant it when I said it
Expressing sincerity and truthfulness when previously spoken.
And it ain't my fault I had to take it back
Having to retract or take back the statement made earlier, but not necessarily due to personal fault.
I'm workin' real hard to not regret it
Putting in significant effort to avoid feeling remorse for the previous action or statement.
And forgive myself for fallin' in like that
Trying to forgive oneself for falling in love or showing affection.
Say I rushed in, call me foolish
Others might criticize for moving too fast or being naive.
Oh, but I learned my lesson
Despite criticism, the individual has gained wisdom from the experience.
When I say forever
A commitment to eternal dedication and loyalty.
I'm gonna write it in stone
Intending to make this commitment permanent and unwavering.
A hundred years wouldn't be long enough
Emphasizing that even a century wouldn't diminish the commitment's significance.
It would never get old
Assuring that the commitment will always feel fresh and enduring.
And when I give my heart away
Offering one's heart completely.
And lay it all on the line
Being completely honest and transparent with emotions.
When I tell the world I'm yours
Publicly declaring a commitment to someone.
And baby you're mine
Affirming mutual possession and affection.
I wanna mean it this time
Expressing a desire to genuinely commit this time.
I'm gonna mean it this time
Reiterating the determination to be authentic in commitment.
Well, I know somewhere somebody's out there
Acknowledging the presence of a potential partner out there.
And when I meet him he'll make sense of all this mess
Believing that this potential partner will bring clarity and order to life's chaos.
He'll make me smile instead of make me cry
Expecting a partner who will bring joy instead of pain.
He'll say what he means and he'll mean what he says
Desiring honesty and consistency in communication.
And I'll never second guess
Resolving to trust without doubts or hesitation.
When I say forever
Reiterating commitment to eternal dedication.
I'm gonna write it in stone
Emphasizing the permanence of this commitment.
A hundred years wouldn't be long enough
Even a century wouldn't diminish the significance of this commitment.
It would never get old
Ensuring that the commitment will always feel fresh and enduring.
And when I give my heart away
Offering one's heart completely.
And lay it all on the line
Being completely honest and transparent with emotions.
When I tell the world I'm yours
Publicly declaring a commitment to someone.
And baby you're mine
Affirming mutual possession and affection.
I wanna mean it this time
Expressing a desire to genuinely commit this time.
I'm gonna mean it this time
Reiterating the determination to be authentic in commitment.
The past is the past
Acknowledging that the past cannot be changed.
No use looking back
Resolving not to dwell on past mistakes or experiences.
Now I know what I deserve
Realizing one's own worth and deserving a genuine commitment.
And I'll wait for that
Willingness to patiently wait for a deserving partner.
When I say forever
Reiterating commitment to eternal dedication.
I wanna write it in stone
Emphasizing the permanence of this commitment.
A hundred years wouldn't be long enough
Even a century wouldn't diminish the significance of this commitment.
It would never get old
Ensuring that the commitment will always feel fresh and enduring.
And when I give my heart away
Offering one's heart completely.
And lay it all on the line
Being completely honest and transparent with emotions.
When I tell the world I'm yours
Publicly declaring a commitment to someone.
And baby you're mine
Affirming mutual possession and affection.
I wanna mean it this time
Expressing a desire to genuinely commit this time.
I'm gonna mean it this time
Reiterating the determination to be authentic in commitment.
