I try to keep down my voice
And let words just slip out slowly
I tried it all on my own
And told the people not to worry
But no, I find it hard to excuse myself
Oh no, I'm not looking to explain myself no
A lot can change in a year
There's so much I've come to peace with
Things that I used to fear
So much I know how to deal with
Yet oh, I find it hard to excuse myself
And oh, why do I need to explain myself
Maybe it didn't turn out right but it is the way it is
Did they think that I planned this out or just hoped for a hit or miss
It felt like I needed the change and some things you can't keep around
Although it makes it a harder move on, in the long run looks safe and sound
Do you think I don't mind
Cause lately it is all I think off
To put this all on the line
Is just more than I want to go for
But noo, why do I need to explain myself
And oh, I think it's time to speak for myself
Maybe it didn't turn out how it should but it is the way it is
Did you think that I planned this out and hoped for a hit or miss
It felt like I needed a change and some things you can't keep around
Although it a harder move on, the long run looks safe and sound
For a moment I saw it all by just looking up from my feet
I may have heard it a thousand times but somehow I failed to see
Tell me you never doubted me though it is the last thing I'll ever ask
You made it so far along now take a breath and just lay back
