Invited and welcomed to a seat at the table Navigating the gift of a life that you paid for Wouldn't it be easier to be told which way is best Would I trust the decision more if it didn't come from my chest Or would it come to tears, me blaming you for the heartache Is the lesson better learned from my own mistakes Safeguarded on every side Walking in the favor that you will provide But planning long term for a future that may not exist I''m no longer sure I can justify it Here we are and I've finally found the root of it Conflicting desires with the power to ruin The question on which all else is contingent What do I want And what do I want to live with?

Contingency
Invited and welcomed to a seat at the table Navigating the gift of a life that you paid for Wouldn't it be easier to be told which way is best Would I trust the decision more if it didn't come from my chest Or would it come to tears, me blaming you for the heartache Is the lesson better learned from my own mistakes Safeguarded on every side Walking in the favor that you will provide But planning long term for a future that may not exist I''m no longer sure I can justify it Here we are and I've finally found the root of it Conflicting desires with the power to ruin The question on which all else is contingent What do I want And what do I want to live with?
