**MOON of 🌙 Reckoning v5*** Original Music, arrangements, lyrics, and vocals (All rights reserved) Remix of a live 195.7s Recording with vocals by Verona Gee [Very Short intro soft humming for 2 bars max ] VERSE 1 [Strong Start Enunciate words well Emphasize last 2 lines] The moon is hanging heavy, like your quiet hurting eyes. I walk beneath its silver weight, replaying every why. I loved you more than you'd known, more than I ever said, But my inner wisdom whispered truths I tried to silence in my head. We healed each other’s wounds, but I know we could make each other bleed. The friend in me knew I wasn’t what your heart would need. PRE‑CHORUS All these years of knowing you, stolen momments in your arms, A lifetime of beginning and ending my days in your calm. But loving you deeply didn’t mean I could stay — Some truths break slowly, but they break anyway. CHORUS MOON of Reckoning, hold him tight — Tell him my love still glows in your light; Yet... our forever bears a different name; not romantic flame, but a soul‑deep claim. Let your glow reveal what I couldn’t say — I ended the dream so his heart could find its way... I wanted him always, but I knew in the end — To save the love, I had to save the friend. VERSE 2 I knew myself better than you ever could, And deep down I always knew I wasn’t right for you. Though I wanted you, wanted to be there in every way you asked, I crossed a line of longing, let things go too far, too fast. I selfishly lived in the warmth you gave, Loved how you loved me, how you dreamed us brave. I wasn’t lying when I said I chose you too — But choosing you meant losing parts of me I couldn’t undo. By holding on, I held myself back, And promised you a future I knew would crack. PRE‑CHORUS 2 Our needs were different, though our dreams were the same. We heal in different rhythms, we bleed in different flames. I felt myself slipping into madness inside — And my love, that’s one place I couldn’t let you reside. BRIDGE In one rash act of self‑sabotage, I burned the ships that carried our mirage. Your friend in me knew the limits of what you could bear — I never wanted you to add me to your list of despair. I wanted you forever, but not in a way That would break us both slowly, day after day. FINAL CHORUS MOON of Reckoning, hold him tight — Tell him my love still glows in your light; YET... Our forever bears a different name; not romantic flame, but a soul‑deep claim. Show him the mercy I couldn’t pretend — I ended the dream to protect the friend. I wanted him always, but I knew in the end — Forever changed shape, but it didn’t end.” ---
