Lyrics Only Takes a Second - Stephen Kellogg

Only Takes a Second

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
