I try to keep down my voice
And let the words just slip out sowly
I tried it all on my own
And told the people not to worry

But no, I find it hard to excuse myself
And no, I’m not looking to explain myself no

A lot can change in a year
There’s so much that I’ve come to peace with
Things that I used to fear
There’s so much that I learned to deal with

Yet oh, I find it hard to excuse myself
And no, I’m not looking to explain myself no

Maybe it didn’t turn out fine 
But it is the way it is
Did you think that I planned this out
Or just hoped for a hit or miss
It felt like I needed a change
And some things you can’t just keep around
Although it made it a harder move-on
In the long run it looked safe and sound

Do you think I don’t mind
‘cause lately it’s all I think off
To put this all on the line
Is just more than I want to go for
But oh, I find it hard to excuse myself
And no, I think it's time I speak for myself

Maybe it didn’t turn out fine 
But it is the way it is
Did you think that I planned this out
Or just hoped for a hit or miss
It felt like I needed a change
And some things you can’t just keep around
Although it made it a harder move-on
In the long run it looked safe and sound

No-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
No-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

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’s the last thing that I’ll ever ask
I think you made it so far along
Take a breath and just lay back
