A Moment's Worth Drown
Truth always hits me in the face like a bag of bricks and I swing blindly with whatever words or weapons I could find.
And I always end up leaving thinking
“how’d things get so bad?”
When the answer’s right in front of me. When the answer is myself.
(When I look at myself, (I) see how things get so bad.
The answer’s in the mirror. The answer’s myself.)
So press stop.
Press rewind.
Play that part right there and watch yourself cross every line.
(I can start this now).
I can turn this around.
I can start this all over as somebody new.
(I swear I won’t)
I swear I won’t let you down.
No, not this time, not again
(just say that you love me).
Just say the words you still love me.
Not this time, not again (just say that you love me).
Just say the words you still…
You still love.
And I’ll do anything, I swear.
And now regret fills me as I see how much I’ve hurt you.
I keep repeating to myself, that’s it this time I lost you.
And then a scene plays in my mind:
The ocean waves crash softly, you whisper ‘hey you’ in my ear and say how much you love me.
(The ocean it crashes in my mind so softly.
Your whispers they haunt me and tell me you love me.)
Just stop.
Press rewind.
Play that part right there and watch yourself cross every line.
But I let you down, so just let me…
But I let you down.
(I can start this now as somebody new. I swear I won’t).
We’re so scared of each other.
