[Intro – warm piano chords, soft organ, brushed drums, slow groove] I kept my story buttoned tight Like a gambler holding cards all night Played it cool, played it strong Like nothing here could go wrong [Verse 2] Every step was measured out Every answer drowned the doubt But the night has ways to speak To the strong and to the weak [Pre-Chorus] All the walls I built so tall Started leaning in the fall [Chorus] In a moment of weakness I lost control All the cracks in the armor Showed my soul In a moment of weakness The truth stepped in Like a quiet stranger Under neon skin [Verse 3] The piano played a low refrain Like it understood the pain And the mirror by the door Showed a man I knew before [Pre-Chorus] Maybe strength ain't standing tall Maybe strength is when you fall [Chorus] In a moment of weakness The mask slipped through Every hidden secret Came into view In a moment of weakness The night stood still And the man in the mirror Lost his iron will [Bridge – jazzy electric guitar solo over organ swell] Maybe every broken line Is just a sign of better time [Final Chorus] In a moment of weakness I finally see All the strength I was chasing Was inside of me In a moment of weakness The walls came down And the truth kept spinning This old world around [Outro – piano and organ fade with soft guitar fills]
