​Forgive me for a moment

If a wild beast roars outside, do you not listen?
If a little one cries in silence, would you not forgive?
Maybe I look so whole,
maybe I talk too much,
but I've never been so wrong.

Perhaps I seem so strong,
maybe I talk too much,
but I've never been so wrong.

​Excuse me for a moment,
looking the other way
with my gaze fixed halfway down the path.

Have you wondered about it for a while?
I feel something very deep inside:
you're trapped in the middle.

​Forgive me for a moment,
with wide-open eyes
while I sink right here in the center.
