Struggling with Chocolate? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
This could be the very minute I'm aware I'm alive All these places feel like home With a name I'd never chosen I can make my first steps As a child of twenty-five This is the straw, final straw in the Roof of my mouth as I lie to you Just because I'm sorry doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it at the time You're the only thing that I love Scares me more every day On my knees I think clearer Goodness knows I saw it coming Or at least I'll claim I did But in truth I'm lost for words What have I done? It's too late for that What have I become? Truth is nothing yet A simple mistake starts the hardest time I promise I'll do anything you ask, this time
