[ Creator note: the title concept inspired by @ladydevil (LadyDeviL). And while this was originally to be partly a tribute to my friend Pastor Richard Clark Deitering who used to have a WAAMradio.com Show called MOMENT OF CLARITY that seeing her song she did/does called MOMENT OF CLARITY reminded me of the title of his Show and I thought I'd do something along Christian Faith MOMENT OF CLARITY it turned into something completely different once I started writing. His Christian Show aired on Saturday's at 1pET until due to Health reasons he could no longer continue. Along the way, though, in my mind, it pivoted from CLARITY of my FAITH to the insecurity and awakening of the Love I lost - and became yet another one of my Love Songs rather BAD BREAK UP (playlist) tunes and very autobiographical in nature about the dissolution of my Marriage. Still Love you Rhonda, I Pray you found, or can still find if not yet, what you really need as it indeed was not me. ]

[intro]
Through this all, it remains,
I still love you, Pray for you too,
now not that you'll return,
new flame, for you, to yearn
cuz now looking back I see....

[Verse 1]
You said goodbye
It made me cry
You tried to spare my feelings
Claimed it was you not me
Sent me reeling
I felt inadequate
Holding my breath
Hoping you'd change your mind
And come back

[Pre-Chorus]
Then it hit me slow
Right under the skin
All the things you said
Did not add up within
I kept looking back
For a softer sign
But the truth stood there
In black and white

[Chorus]
Moment of Clarity
It cut right through me
Moment of Clarity
Now I can see
You lied to avoid
Saying my name
I failed us not you
That’s the whole game

[Verse 2]
I was waiting on
A door to swing wide
Reading every pause
Like it might decide
If you’d take it back
If you’d call me home
But you kept that truth
Buried alone
I wore the blame
Like a heavy coat
Till the mirror spoke
And I finally woke

[Pre-Chorus]
Then it hit me slow
Right under the skin
All the things you said
Did not add up within
I kept looking back
For a softer sign
But the truth stood there
In black and white

[Chorus]
Moment of Clarity
It cut right through me
Moment of Clarity
Now I can see
You lied to avoid
Saying my name
I failed us not you
That’s the whole game

[Bridge]
And I still felt love
Even through the sting
But love ain't a shield
From the way you leave
I won’t chase your shadow
I won’t beg for proof
I was hurt, yes I was
But I was  a fool
only fooling myself

[Chorus]
Moment of Clarity
It cut right through me
Moment of Clarity
Now I can see
You lied to avoid
Saying my name
I failed us not you
That’s the whole game

[outro]
Moment of Clarity - You said goodbye (Moment of Clarity) it made me cry, (Moment of Clarity) you tried to spare my feelings, (Moment of Clarity) claimed it was you not me sent me reeling, I felt inadequate, hoped you change your mind and come back, eventually the Moment of Clarity came, you lied to avoid saying my name, cuz it is actually true, I failed us not you.
