Pia Toscano
Pia Toscano (born October 14, 1988) is an American singer from Howard Beach, New York. Toscano placed ninth on the tenth season of American Idol. She was considered a frontrunner in the competition, and her elimination shocked judges Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, and Steven Tyler, all of whom were visibly and vocally upset. Some viewers and media outlets described Toscano's departure as one of the most shocking eliminations in American Idol history.

This Time
by: Pia Toscano[Pia Toscano]
Well I'm mad as hell
I ain't gon' take it no more
My bag is packed at the back of your door
'Cause I don't know who I am no more
You won the battle but you lost the war
I've been in denial, now I'm living the truth
Been down for a while, now I'm standing up to you
[Chorus]
This time, this time I'm gonna do it my way
This time, I'm finding out the hard way
This time, I'm gonna go back to the girl I was on the night you found me
No more, closing back the real me
Just wait, in a minute you'll see
This time, just in time, it's my time
Getting back to the real me
[Pia Toscano]
Don't try to stop me with the words you say
'Cause I'm sick and tired of the games you play
I'm gonna free myself, gonna make a change
And like a butterfly, I'mma spread my wings
Been crying for too long, now I'm drying my eyes
Grounded for so long, now it's time for me to fly
[Chorus]
This time, this time I'm gonna do it my way
This time, I'm finding out the hard way
This time, I'm gonna go back to the girl I was on the night you found me
No more, closing back the real me
Just wait, in a minute you'll see
This time, it's time, it's my time
Getting back to the real me
[Bridge]
I'm mad at you
I can't take it no more
My bag is packed at the back of your door
I promise you, this time!
[Chorus]
This time, this time I'm gonna do it my way
This time, I'm finding out the hard way
This time, I'm gonna go back to the girl I was on the night you found me
No more, closing back the real me
Just wait, in a minute you'll see
This time, it's time, it's my time
