THE VOLTA

For a moment you gave everything reason

Every lost battle, and every cold season,

You gave me your word that I tried to believe in,

But if I’m your queen, then this act is treason.

For a moment I felt right at home

You gave me a love that I’d never been shown 

And for a short time I didn’t feel so alone 

But now my heart just sinks like a stone.

Because for a moment you forgot

What I am, and what she’s not

I know it wasn’t what you sought

But I’ll admit, it still hurts a lot.

For a moment this felt right

In the dark I was your light

But you don’t want me, at least not tonight

So once again, I’ve lost the fight. 

Maybe another moment will come

We can have it all, instead of some

You can’t be coy, you can’t play dumb

You’ll have to earn your spot in my kingdom.
