What I Should Have Said

Everything comes and everything goes
And so will you I suppose.
I thought there was one thing that would never leave and now that’s done
I thought there was one thing that stays but now there is none.

I never knew in such a short time I could go from being so happy to so sad
Thinking about it gets me down all the opportunities I had.
There is something I wanted to ask you
But I was so shy I couldn’t ask, or even tell you how I feel about you.

Now you are gone and it’s too late
I was so shy and nervous I couldn’t even ask you on one date.
There isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t regret it
My biggest mistake isn’t what I did but what I couldn’t say.

Now I feel I need to say
I think about you night and day.
That the feelings I have let me know it’s true
I will always love you.
