~ Cause & Effect (Lyrics By Emilie Surtees)

testimony 1:

wonder where you are

seems like it was yesterday

the thought causes sparks that illuminate the memories

i sacrificed a king for a castle

didn’t see that the choice would prophesize your leaving

now i see that everything we wanted for us won’t be

Cause & Effect has me reeling

hook:

love wouldn’t hurt so much baby

if i could turn back time

i’d take us back to where we started to unwind

i’d recognize unhappy traces

testimony 2:

you so often spoke of many things i never heard

hurt feelings in tow you were done and gone before i’d find

i sacrificed a king for a castle

didn’t think for one second you would ever leave me

now i see that everything we wanted for us won’t be

Cause & Effect has me kneeling

outro:

baby please don’t take your love away from me cause i need you - gotta have you - if i could i’d take you back to a time when all we needed was each other - it wouldn’t hurt anymore if i could, if i could turn - i’d take us back, i’d take us back before the cause took effect
