Missed the Dance

I wish I could say

What I need to say to you

I could push aside what I feel for life

But I know I can't get through

It tears me up

When you break down

And see your tears fall on the floor

It hurts like hell

But Lord I can tell

That you don't want me anymore

There ain't a thing to say

Or a song to play

That would change your mind

I had my chance

But I missed the dance

You're gone for good this time

And now I lay in bed

And think of what I said

And reflect on my ignorant lines

If I had any sense

I'd make up for this

But Lord knows I ain't gotta dime

It seems to me I mess up every good damn thing

That comes my way

Something good gets thrown to me

And hell I throw it all away

There I am complaining about the loneliness being all I have

When it's my damn fault in the first place that I'm as lonely as I am

It's not that I don't love you anymore

There's a part of me that always will

It's just that now I know what I'm fighting for

Maybe we die on that hill

I can tell you the moment I knew baby

I fell for you so fast

But the falling out was so slow

How many times did I try to

Make you see me

Hear me baby

How many times did I watch you let me go

It seems to me I mess up every good damn thing

That comes my way

Something good gets thrown to me

And hell I throw it all away

There I am complaining about the loneliness being all I have

When it's my damn fault in the first place that I'm as lonely as I am

Lonely as I am
