Because I Said So


When I arise to the occasion
It feels just that amazing
Hold me close because you're staying

No better feeling of those soft kisses
Don't have to ask or know what I'm missing
Secretly planning, always on a mission

Look at how far it has got us here
Some night there are fears
By chance a passing of another year

Listen to the voice that says yes
Might be an unexplainable test
Conversations are too true coming off the chest

Destroyed by the endless mistakes
Constantly on-going without a break
When I arise to the occasion
Am I awake..
