it's been a season
like no other.

who would figure
out this blunder
would be ours?

i thought we had it all.
it felt so real,
felt so strong.

down with no faith
it's coming back up.

they'll raise a drink or two
and party all night long.

oh, that should have been us.

mark my words, i won't forget yet.
even when it hurts, i know i still love you.
maybe it wasn't that we weren't meant
to see the golden light,
maybe it just wasn't our turn that night.

now they're walking around in their best outfits.
they're smiling with a smile that should
have been ours.

oh, i don't know how i'll feel tomorrow,
but if it's anything like today,
it'll still be heartbreak and sorrow.

they will light up the skies
with fireworks of their own shades of gold.

they've told me this pain wouldn't last forever,
but i'm not sold.

maybe next season, we won't fall
like the winter snowflakes did.

maybe next season, we'll have it all.
we will be the champions,
but not this time.
