Rob "Cleva" Lightbourne - The Moments Lyrics

I love you

We were like Darius and Nina never taking time to
Define what's between us, passion rarely ever seen
That so many dream of whenever we team up we are
Keys played in perfect harmony for-ever
Everyone, wish that they could be what was 'cause baby
We were a paradigm for everyone to see what
Ebony love means but we just threw it
All away 'cause you and me were selfish, now
Memories of what we had have begun to fade and a
Piece of me attempts to underplay just how
Deep the s**t was this love's kryptonite
Taking all my might I'm forced to keep a distance
Out of sight out of mind never out my system
Wisdom, becomes no match for my addiction
If the truth hurts I would rather lie
Near by your side, with you throughout the night
I reminisce on tongue-kissing in the rain with you
Telling you forget the past games I can change if you
Stay... You paused
Looked me in the eyes and said, "Okay"

You and I were too caught up in the moments
The moments
Promises not to lie
Some promises turn to lies

Adolescent unity, foolishly swearing to each other
That it's you and me exclusively
Where's the value in speaking truthfully if you never lie
Is a motto we both have lived by
Everybody's got a secret some keep it better than others do
I had my share of affairs you had a few too
Why dwell upon negative aspects
And whether old habits are absent that s--t is past tense
Right now is all that matters
Either take action or watch opportunity pass us
Yet again we been at this for so many years we are
Veterans, can you picture being separate
"No" That's when I replied neither can I
F**k your fears come here give us another try
What we feel is too real to ever deny
Could've sworn we had a bond impossible to deny but

You and I were too caught up in the moments
The moments
Promises not to lie
Some promises turn to lies
You and I were too caught up in the moments
The moments
Promises not to lie
Some promises turn to lies

Consider it as time wasted lessons learned
Struck a match lit the photos up let em' burn
Can't swear I don't care but I'm less concerned
Than before since reality has been confirmed
Fantasies are appropriate for juveniles
Why face the same old truth with new denials
Ain't nothin' perfect, but simply put
This ain't working it ain't worth it, time to let it go
And every moment now shared with somebody new
Is one less thought that occurs about you
One new memory added without you
One night of passion with a woman that's not you
We had enough time before why try now
To tell me everything you feel inside right now
Ain't nothing left to say except for goodbye now
Took all these years for me to realize now that

You and I were too caught up in the moments
The moments
Promises not to lie
Some promises turn to lies
You and I were too caught up in the moments
The moments
Promises not to lie
Some promises turn to lies
