[Intro: Ashlei Mayadia]
Oh
Ohhhh, oohh, ohh, oohh..
[Verse 1: K-Rino]
In the beginning was your plotted mission, you had a solid vision
But was it confidence or delusional optimism?
Once in a locked decision, no one can tell you different
‘cause when you know it all, the good advice you fail to listen
Begin strongly but started moving abnormally
Some wrong moves that broke your formula’s harmony
Full blown autonomy, young and ornery
Never putting on the garment of conformity
Before your weakness took a lead, your mind was fixed indeed
To work a plan immediately after it’s conceived
Though you were quick to feed, their hеarts were mixed with greed
So in thе kindness of people you start to disbelieve
A sobering crash, now friendships you hoped would last
Are memories you try to grab from a ghostly past
You didn’t reach the checkered flag ‘cause your efforts lagged
I guess it’s true you can miss something you never had
[Chorus: Ashlei Mayadia]
Faded moments, shattered dreams
Blowing with the wind, just scattering
Out of sight but not out of mind
A vision unrealized and lost in time
A bolted window, a locked door
A deep hole in your heart that you can’t ignore
Were you afraid to lose? Were you afraid to win?
Once a second goes by it never comes again
[Verse 2: K-Rino]
You know not to settle for lower levels but you take it
Even though you didn’t make the world, the world is still what you make it
Plans that you backed up from, chances you had are gone
Opportunities evaporate when not acted on
So now expect to hear it, your head won’t let you clear it
Periodically revisited by regretful spirits
The take you back resentful, the pressure apprehends you
And sends you into the trash bin of untapped potential
You never knew the improvements your life could’ve included
The dream that you were scared to move on, should’ve pursued it
And from a hinderance, no person prevails exempt
You never tried again after one failed attempt
You didn’t trust, now your options are smoke in the dust
Now someone else is holding what you was hoping to touch
Broken and crushed, missed out on that ultimate rush
You had the chance to win the game but you choked in the clutch
[Chorus: Ashlei Mayadia]
Faded moments, shattered dreams
Blowing with the wind, just scattering
Out of sight but not out of mind
A vision unrealized and lost in time
A bolted window, a locked door
A deep hole in your heart that you can’t ignore
Were you afraid to lose? Were you afraid to win?
Once a second goes by it never comes again
[Verse 3: K-Rino]
The time you can’t rewind, a grudge you couldn’t put behind ya
The long friendship that ended over something minor
The loved one that you betrayed by telling lies to ‘em
Who left his life before you apologized to him
Some people say that they want greatness but afraid to chase
The ones erased from history are those who played it safe
Intimidated by the tallness of a higher wall
Not knowing rejection is better than no try at all
A troubled person that you could have helped to break the cycle
Forcing your child to do what you couldn’t made them dislike you
A million dollar idea died when you’re pausing
So now it’s just collecting dust inside your mental closet
The son or daughter that you helped conceive but chose to leave them
The family member you neglected, now you’re broke and need them
You wasted all of your best years and doubt’s the reason
So by the time you try to plant the seed it’s out of season
[Chorus: Ashlei Mayadia]
Faded moments, shattered dreams
Blowing with the wind, just scattering
Out of sight but not out of mind
A vision unrealized and lost in time
A bolted window, a locked door
A deep hole in your heart that you can’t ignore
Were you afraid to lose? Were you afraid to win?
Once a second goes by it never comes again
