Moment

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Well, you were burning up the sky

Looking for a light when you saved me

I was convinced no one would take me

You turned and took me by the hand

But now that look in your eyes

All of your sighs are saying: Go, please

Leave me alone and leave you lonely

It looks as though we've reached the end

Well, I'm fine

I just need a moment

I'm alright right here on the floor

Well, I'm fine

I just need a moment to cry

And when I think about the ways

That you never waste your breath to say you love me

How you always held your lost loves above me

As you kept your other hand on the door

Yet I'll admit I might miss

Every scar and every wish that we'd make

But our wishes were nothing but ways

To act as if we could use the change

Well, maybe one of these days

We'll cross each other on a train to our new lives

We could talk about the old times

And how we're glad we made it out alive

But for now I'll sit and drink

As I think about the night that your father died

And I said I'd never leave your side

We once swore we could defeat this

Therefore, please excuse this little bit of weakness, oh

Well, I'm fine

I just need a moment of your time

To get all my things and let go

Well, I’m fine

I just need a moment to say goodbye

Well, Lord give me a reason

C'mon, show me you love me

I don't want to let it go

Just to watch it fly

And Lord, give me a moment

Any of it, show me

I don't want to feel it

I don't wanna watch it go by

Because I'm fine

I just need a moment

I'm alright right here on the floor

Well, I'm fine

I just need a moment to say I'm fine

I need a moment

I'm alright here on the floor

Well, I'm fine

I just need a moment to cry
