Ten More Seconds

They were so close, but they failed their own mission.

You were getting closer and closer to your goal, 

But yet time stole. 

If only the clock gave you ten more seconds. 

Maybe then we could have been friends. 

If you were given those ten seconds where would your life go? 

Would you tie it up in a pretty bow? 

Or would it be corrupted again? 

I guess some people have a difficult time trying to mend. 

Trying to mend their heartbreak, 

Trying to mend from a terrible earthquake, 

Time heals all wounds they say, 

But their wounds openly stay. 

They stay that way because they failed by ten seconds.
