Desperate Moment

[Verse 1] (quiet, melodic)

Looking back it’s no wonder it was hard
For a while there the pressure cut me down
I made mistakes I should have never made
I saw the signs and still I walked away

[Pre-Chorus] (build)
Weak at the seams I was losing control
One bad decision took a heavy toll

[Chorus] (loud, radio hook)
Now I’m the bad guy for what I went through
One moment weak and I said yes to you
I crossed that line now I live with it all
One wrong move I can’t outrun it now here

[Post-Chorus] (hook)
Desperate moment

[Verse 2] (quiet, darker)
I told myself that I could handle this
I fed the fire just to feel alive now
I heard the truth but chose to look away
I paid the price for each lie I told then

[Pre-Chorus] (rise)
Weak at the seams I was losing control
One bad decision took a heavy toll

[Chorus] (loud)
Now I’m the bad guy for what I went through
One moment weak and I said yes to you
I crossed that line now I live with it all
One wrong move I can’t outrun it now here

[Post-Chorus]
Desperate moment

[Bridge] (breakdown, gritty)

It wasn’t love it was fear in my skin
I took escape and called it something else

[Break / Instrumental]

(Clean guitar → tension build → full-band crash)

[Final Chorus] (loudest, anthemic)
Now I’m the bad guy but I survived it
One moment weak didn’t end my life now
I crossed the line but I’m still here now yeah
Still breathing through the fear inside me now

[Outro] (fade)
Desperate moment
