Madeleina Kay - Put on the Brakes Lyrics

Looking back
How did we get here
Caught in the past
Driven by fear
Sometimes you don't appreciate what you've had until it's gone
Blaming the other
When it's been you all along

Too proud
To back down
Pride, a broken crown
Is it too much to ask
Is it too late to try
To turn this around
To halt our goodbye

It takes more than words
It's easier to fight
Than to accept a mistake
And work to make things right
Not a weakness but a strength
Face up, won't stay at arms length
With such high stakes
I know we've got what it takes
It's not too late
To put on the brakes

Is this it
Is this how it ends
Nobody wins
No one makes amends
It's easy to point the finger at those closest to you
When on reflection
There's nothing more they could do

Too proud
To back down
Pride, a broken crown
Is it too much to ask
Is it too late to try
To turn this around
To halt our goodbye

It takes more than words
It's easier to fight
Than to accept a mistake
And work to make things right
Not a weakness but a strength
Face up, won't stay at arms length
With such high stakes
I know we've got what it takes
It's not too late
To put on the brakes
To put on the brakes

It's never been clearer
What we're about to lose
When faced with our future is this really what we choose?
In the heat of the moment
You said we should walk away
But would you still feel the same
If I asked you today

It takes more than words
It's easier to fight
Than to accept a mistake
And work to make things right
Not a weakness but a strength
Face up, won't stay at arms length
With such high stakes
I know we've got what it takes
It's not too late
To put on the brakes
To put on the brakes
To put on the brakes
