If Only For The Moment - Missing Persons

You try to live up to what others believe

Till you conquer all your fears and just find what you need

In the time that it takes to settle for less

You could have done with what you thought would be best

You set your ideals with the truth that you see

Nothing turns out quite the same as you thought it would be

Counting the times that you’ve said what you mean

All the reasons to forget what you want to believe

And you know what I’m thinking now

If only for the moment

All that you think has meaning for you

Excuses are many when you seek what is true

You live in your thoughts and believe you are right

Till what you foresee is brought into sight

You set your ideals with the truth that you see

Nothing turns out quite the same as you thought it would be

Counting the times that you’ve said what you mean

All the reasons to forget what you want to believe

All the reasons to forget what you want to believe (repeat and fade)
