Lyrics:
[Verse]
Tick tock the clock is ticking slow
Moments pass just like the snow
Memories fade yet still they burn
When will I learn when will I learn

[Verse 2]
One mistake can change it all
From the rise to the fall
Lost in shadows of regret
Can I fix what I forget

[Chorus]
It only took a second to wash away
A whole life for a moment of betray
Now all I can think is how can I
Turn back the hands of time,
they fly by.

[Verse 3]
Silent nights and sleepless days
Hoping time could mend the ways
Now Im locked up in this cage
A simple reminder of a deadly rage

[Bridge]
If I could hold that moment tight
Change my fate in the dim light
Undo the wrong and set it right
Oh how I'd fight oh how I'd fight

[Chorus]
It only took a second to wash away
A whole life for a moment of betray
Now all I can think is how can I
Turn back the hands of time
as they fly by,
its been a long goodbye.

[Verse4]
We were once so close you and I
Now we're just ghosts passing by
All those dreams up in the sky
Now they fall and say goodbye

[Chorus]
It only took a second to wash away
A whole life for a moment of betray
Now all I can think is how can I
Turn back the hands of time as they fly by
It's been a long goodbye

[Verse 2]
Walking down this road so lonely
Memories come haunting slowly
Words we said that cut so low
Lost in time like sand so flow

[Chorus]
It only took a second to wash away
A whole life for a moment of betray
Now all I can think is how can I
Turn back the hands of time as they fly by
It's been a long goodbye

[Verse 5]
Raindrops falling from the sky
Just like tears I left behind
Every day I wonder why
Love's so cruel and love's so blind

[Chorus]
It only took a second to wash away
A whole life for a moment of betray
Now all I can think is how can I
Turn back the hands of time as they fly by
It's been a long goodbye

Poem:

It only took a second, but the world stood still,
A moment of weakness, a bend in the will.
What once was strong crumbled so fast,
A future I’d built became part of the past.*

We had time, or so I believed,
Yet one mistake left me deceived.
In the space of a heartbeat, I let it all go,
Now I’m chasing shadows of what I used to know.

Years have passed, but the memory stays,
A single second haunts all my days.
The clock keeps ticking, but I remain,
Locked in a loop of sorrow and pain.

If I could hold time in my hand,
I’d turn back the second, the smallest strand.
Undo the wrong, set it all right,
But time moves on—no pause, no fight.

And now I walk this road alone,
A love once real, now overthrown.
In that moment, I lost it all,
It only took a second for the fall.
