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
