One Moment

In one moment I felt like I was buried alive
In one moment the ground was crushing my lungs
In one moment I could no longer breathe
In one moment a part of me died

One moment changed everything
One moment suspended time
One moment killed all my dreams
One moment I no longer felt alive

In one moment everything went up in flames
In one moment you were happy
In one moment I wasn’t
In one moment I wanted to cry, but I didn’t

One moment that I can’t change, couldn’t stop
One moment that will haunt me forever
One moment that killed me inside
One moment, you never saw the pain

In one moment I wished I never met you
In one moment I wished I could love you
In one moment you had chosen someone else
In one moment I was forgotten

One moment forever burned in my memory
One moment brewing a sullen storm
One moment I wish I could’ve stopped
One moment that was inevitable

In one moment you'll be alive, In one moment your pain will die, In one moment you'll find love, In one moment you can be the happiest person in the world. This is very nice...can be turned into a song. Just need a blistering music so the song finishes in one moment too. Like it!!!!
