Lyrics:

We didn’t wake with hate in hand
We didn’t plan to cross the line

We followed signs that sounded sane
We trusted what felt right at the time
Every doubt felt out of place
Every pause a crack in faith

So we filled the silence fast
Before the thoughts could make us wait
Answers came already shaped
And that felt easier than doubt

When certainty feels calm and clean
Questions sound like disloyalty

We had our reasons
That’s what we said
We had our reasons
So we never checked

Comfort wrapped around belief
Like armor we didn’t test
We had our reasons
And that was enough
To stop asking what came next

at the time...

Shorter paths look kind and fair
When you’re tired of being unsure
Every edge smoothed down with words
That promise peace but not the cure

We called it strength to stand our ground
Called it wisdom not to look down
Anything to keep the shape
Of who we were before the sound

When answers come too easily
They ask for nothing back from you

We had our reasons
That’s what we said
We had our reasons
So we never checked

Certainty became a home
Where doubt was not allowed to rest
We had our reasons
And that was enough
To stop asking what came next

Not every reason is a truth
Not every answer is earned

at the time...

The moment we stopped asking why
Was the moment something died
Not truth
Not peace

But us

We had our convictions
That’s what we’ll say
When the weight won’t wash away

Comfort kept us feeling clean
While we crossed what shouldn’t be
We had our reasons
And that was enough
To stop asking what came next

at the time...
