Slippin' through my fingers there goes another chance,
Too quick to find a hold on.
Another sign to show me I'm a solitary man,
My poor heart and I just live alone.
If love would overcome me, mend my tortured soul,
My loneliness would live no more.
But I do still think about her,
Even though she lives a little too far.
These memories that haunt me are flooded with false hope,
Existing only to remind me of the love I never showed.
Because of my hesitation I missed a chance to hold her heart,
My procrastination tore any chance I had apart.
But I do still think about her,
Even though I know she's safe in his arms.
This solitary man well he has walked a many mile,
If it were for a lover it would all be worth his while.
Telling her I loved her seemed a task far too hard,
Hiding my true feelings never got me all that far.
But I do, I wanna tell her,
Even though, I'm scared of what she might say.
But I know I have to tell her,
Before she's known to me as the one that got away.
