all at once it seemed so easy

the way to make this right

just to let myself feel these things

and say what's on my mind

so i let my guard down

and it seems not for the best

i guess i do the right things

at all the wrong times

and stand to pay the price


cause i waited much too long

or just said something wrong

and i miss you


but you're not giving in

i missed it

and better luck is on my wish list

maybe that's why i'm alive

i'm not giving up on this yet

another time it might be different

if anything that's why i'm alive


if i'd just said something sooner

then maybe this could start

but at the time i couldn't see this coming

or how it'd fall apart

you can slow it down

and you can buy more time

but it comes around

and then you change your mind too late


there's nothing left to say about it now
