I saw you the other day
You passed me on the street
And I felt my pulse race
My heart began to beat.
You smiled just the same
And asked me how I’d been
But I just say okay
I just said I was fine.
Deep inside me is the truth
The love that I still hold
A love that is still burning
When it should be cold.
I just played it cool
Until you had to go
I almost turned to stop you
But I just told myself no.
I got home that night
And knew what to say
To tell you how I feel
But it had to wait another day.
The next time I saw you
I did the same old thing
Tell me how much pain
One person can bring?
I promised I would tell you
I finally had the courage
But when I saw you next
You were with another girl
Someone else you had met.
I couldn’t believe it
That I had lost the chance
I had let true love go
And lost at this romance.
Maybe I will get another
Chance to tell you again
But, until then I'll wonder
How things could have been.
