As that minute passed
You crossed my mind
My inner strength
So hard to find
I've done so well
To lock you out
But now I wonder
A thought
A doubt
I'm lost in confusion
I cannot relapse
I don't want to need
The dangling clasp
So I'll keep on denying
The things I'm not sure
We're now just two strangers
But it will always be more
