Darned × 2

You rush to fix it but you make it worse,

You jump in headfirst and you feed the curse.

The timing's off and now the damage is done,

You pulled the trigger but you shouldn't have run.

You waited too long and the door closed tight,

You had the answer but you missed the night.

The right thing said at the wrong hour of day,

Is still the wrong move when loved ones turn away.

(Pre chorus)

This way that way no way fast.

Every road you pick just doesn't last.

Darned if you do and darned if you don't,

Take your time or you'll end up alone.

Darned if you do and darned if you don't,

Some will push you but a wise man won't.

Stop and breathe before you make your next call,

A moment of thought can save you from the fall.

(Pre chorus)

This way that way no way fast,

Every quick decision leaves a scar that lasts.

You might try with what you've been shown,

Rush in blind and reap what you have sown!

The road to regret is paved with quick choices,

Too many actions and not enough voices.

The ones in your head saying slow yourself down,

Don't wear your reaction like it's your crown.

So think before you act and weigh out the cost,

Some battles you win leave you feeling more lost.

The right time the right word the right heart in place,

Is what carries you on home to win the race.

(Bridge)

Darned if you do, darned if you don't,

Act before thinking and you'll wish you won't.

Pause for a second and weigh out the cost,

The wrong step at the wrong time leaves you lost.

There's no perfect moment, no map on the wall,

You won't always get it right, nobody does at all.

But a breath and a pause can be your greatest guide,

Think before you leap and let your wisdom decide.

(Chorus)

This way that way no way fast.

Every road you pick just doesn't last.

Darned if you do and darned if you don't,

Take your time or you'll end up alone.

This way that way no way fast,

Every quick decision leaves a scar that lasts.

Rush in blind and reap what you've sown

This way that way no way fast.

Every road you pick just doesn't last.

Darned if you do and darned if you don't,

Take your time or you'll end up alone.
