Story Behind The Song
In many failed relationships, one side is a little more at fault...usually the other person. This song started with that feeling because one person also usually wants it to work out and tries to turn their head the other way to some shortcomings until finally something occurs that pushes it too far. The song grew out of the hook line: This Time I Won't Forgive You, or I Won't Forgive Myself.
Song Description
The story is that this persons partner was about the biggest cheat/liar that ever was but our singer kept forgiving and taking them back until now. Basically, there was something that was the last straw.

Lyrics
This Time I Won’t Forgive You
If lying was a living
you’d be company president.
If cheating were a prison
you’d be a full time resident.
If I had a dollar
for every promise that you kept,
I’d be a poor man
and deeply in debt.
CHORUS
This Time I Won’t Forgive You, for bringing me down.
All the times you’ve left me are too many to count.
I guess you wasn’t listening to my cries for help.
So This Time I Won’t Forgive You or I won’t forgive myself.
You’ve had so many second chances
to clean up your act.
Every time you’d run away
I’d always take you back.
If forgiving was music
I’d have more hits than George Jones.
But now the time has come
I need to finally let you go.
CHORUS
Bridge
Cheating?...you know it.
Lying?....you wrote it.
Leaving?....I don’t care.
Take you back?.....(spoken)I don’t dare.
CHORUS
