Only Takes a Second - Stephen Kellogg

I was up there on the fast track

Kicking ass and taking names

Going places I had never been

Integrity to burn, I had principle and class

Then one day they waved a little cash

It only takes a second to throw it all away

Sure as anything I ever knew

Busy making lists of all the things I’d never do

It only takes a second to

You say you’re just one way until the day that you aren’t

Family’s always meant a lot to me

Funny how a face you wouldn’t normally desire

On a lonesome night, can change what you believe

It only takes a second to throw it all away

Sure as anything I ever knew

Busy making lists of all the things I’d never do

It only takes a second to

If I had a nickel for every snake there in the grass

Regrets I have for things I can’t take back

Stands that never lasted could have made me a rich man

Those times I traded diamonds in for glass

It only takes a second to throw it all away

Sure as anything I ever knew

Busy keeping track of who did what or who screwed who

With they say about forgiveness, well I think it might be true

That it only takes a second

It only takes a second to

It only takes a second to

It only takes a second to

It only takes a second to

It only takes a second to
