There she stood
Hands clenched
Unsure of what to do

It would be so easy
No one would care
Just one more step
One more step

But then she thought
She thought of him
Whether he cared or not
Mattered so much
He mattered so much

And when she talked
She talked to him
And he always listened
But now things looked so grim

And there she stood
More sure than ever
She was done, she quit

And yet she backed away
But she still quit
Just two more steps
Two more steps

And there she stood
She’d given up
Now or never - yes now

But she turned
And walked away
She knew that she mattered
And that she loved him

And so she thought
She thought of him
And as she walked
The sky grew dim

And she was there
There with him
And they were in love
Yes, they were in love
