Felt it coming The only choice was forgive and forget And I found comfort In that it hasn't happened yet Something inside me was calling But all I could see was a threat Cause I was sure it would cost me Another lifetime to repent For taking my time to find atonement Taking my time to feel the moment Taking the time to shun an omen For taking in all my time I started running I wasn't gonna just stand there and wait For the changes that were sure to dissipate I figured, why should I risk it? I don't wanna venture and I don't wanna gain Instead of making the choices I'd rather be left with silence again For taking my time to find atonement Taking my time to feel the moment Taking the time to shun an omen For taking in all my time For taking the time to feed a promise Taking my time to pay an homage Taking the time to grieve the solace For taking in all of my time
