It's the moment

All comes down to moments

Changes within a second

Give me a second

Gotta make sure I don’t close my eyes and miss this part

I've been known to miss them

Can't miss this part

I know what you would say, Just wanna see me happy

I am, but not in the way most think

There's nothing to it

Give in to the edges of your voice and the traces made with your fingertips

Taking fragments and molding them back together

I have to let up, I remember

Always let up

Maybe it's been for a reason

All for a reason

Tell me it's okay

All paths are predetermined

So tell me it's okay

If I desert you once again

But at least I warned you this time

Enough is on my mind

Hard staying still after the first time

Coping by amnesia, I don't dream of retracing cut lines

Forgiven, but never forgotten

How hard is it to make up a mind?

I knew what I wanted,

Viewed you as if you were already the man God desired you to be

Any messes handed our way, I was right there,

Believing in you and me

You didn't believe in a you and me

Faith you've taken up after true misery

Respect comes with admittance

Guess this is the moment right now

Didn't want to come around, my admittance

It's been for a reason

Gotta make sure I don't miss this part

Make sure in my commitment to new beginnings
