Before It Sinks In - Moira Dela Torre

Suspended in the air

I hear myself breathing

Hanging by a thread

My heart is barely beating

I haven’t fallen yet

But I feel it comin'

Tell me would it be too much to ask

If you break it to me gently

And I’m waking the next day

Without you beside me

And you hold on to the day

Tomorrow will just be a memory

That I would look back at all of this

And wonder why I stayed in here

Just to watch you disappear

So I breathe and let you go

How do I breathe and let you go?

Before it’s too late

I’ll take a step away

I know one word would make me go

Rushing back to you

So I’ll just shut my eyes

Forget that you were mine

How do you go from making one your home

And then just letting it all go

Let me take it in

Before it sinks in

I’ll be on my knees

Is the future you promised

Know what I never even had

I have every reason to miss

And I down away

I can’t find the strength to let you go

When the ony love I’ve come to know

Have this past and left me alone

You found another home

So before it’s too late

I’ll take a step away

I know one word would make me go

Rushing back to you

That I’ll just shut my eyes

Forget that you were mine

How do you go from making one your home

And then just letting it all go

Let me take it in

Before it sinks in

(Ohhhhh…)

(Go…)

(Ohhhhh…)

(Go…)

Before it’s too late

I’ll take a step away

I know one word would make me go

Rushing back to you

I’ll just shut my eyes

Forget that you were mine

How do you go from making one your home

And then just letting it all go

Let me take it in

Before it sinks in
