It's settled now,
The conversation draws the lines so subtlety,
they're barely real
In retrospect I could have played the part
and pushed the borders back a ways, If I had tried.

But if I gave it all away
would I really sacrifice, anything
If I left that contingency open
How could it damage me at all?

Though afterwards,
decisions made in haste come back to strike you down,
and form regrets
If possibly I could have found a way
to dissuade my sense of urgency, I should have tried

And when I gave it all away
did I truly sacrifice, everything
when I left that contingency open
How will it damage me at all?
