A Moment

 

I decide not to decide,

Got one foot in the door, but can’t seem to push anymore to let myself in,

I want to win, familiar patterns got me stressing out again,

I wasn’t supposed to have you,

Now that I have you, the rush from start has died,

Isn’t this crazy?

Us staring up at the ceiling, who could’ve ever imagined we’d come this far?

You talk, but I don’t hear you, the words fall on deaf ears,

To be clear, I can’t stand to lay by you another second,

I just need to breathe…

Take a moment and just breathe,

You can’t truly love me,

Not the way I need,

So I just need to breathe,

Take this moment and just breathe,

You’re not the one for me,

I have to leave,

It’s ridiculous how far I let you in,

I knew better, Yes, I’d known,

I think I’d seen some pretty colors and painted my own picture,

A picture so untrue,

Am I crazy?

Staring up at the ceiling, am I suppose to be in your arms?

You talk, I don’t listen, I need to figure out my heart,

To be clear, I could be making this all up,

Whether I’ve got the answer or I do not,

To even have to question means I’ve stepped too far,

Need to take some steps back,

Sidestep this track and just breathe,
