Lyrics
It Only Took A Moment © Sean Deegan 2006
It only took a moment, to throw it all away
Shattered into pieces, by what you had to say
You didn?t stop to think before you struck your fatal blow
It only took a moment
It only took a moment
It only took a moment
If you had stopped to listen, before you leapt right in
You would have got to hear the truth, fear never had to win
Shattered into pieces, impossible to mend
It only took a moment
It only took a moment
It only took a moment
Are you feeling happy now? Can you see what you have done?
You took that moment for yourself, but you were not the only one
Will you think about the future now? That you will never see
It only took a moment
It only took a moment
It only took a moment
