You Had Your Chance

In another life, maybe You'd of been my wife, baby You've shown me kindness And been there for me Took away my blindness So I could suddenly see The love you had to give Was so good and grand Felt good to finally live Knowing I would be your man wasn't looking for it when I found it When I found it I felt it When you took it I melted Just took it without warning And left me holding the bag And burning Cuz I missed you I missed your touch Cuz when I kissed you I fell so much Then like that, its gone Like Kaiser Sosa I thought you were the one What am I supposed ta- Do? Just as the pain started to subside You came back and opened my eyes wide- -er and deeper and fiercer than before And refilled that void you left in me Resurrected me from the Plutonian shore assured me I was the one you adore Made me feel like there would never Again be an impenetrable door Between us, not a door, not ever So I let myself fall deeper and deeper Than I did on the previous occasion Then again, poof! Left me in a ?seether? to wait for you for unidentifiable duration Told me to wait for you But instead I cried for you If only I knew How I would end up still holding emptiness I'm not strong enough to say I'm through I still dream of that happiness That I felt with you I can't wait, I'm sorry I just can't wait to make it be Cuz while I'm stuck waiting for you Someone's waiting for me They're waiting for their chance To dance With me They wanna love me and fill my soul And show me to be in love again make a diamond from this lump of coal In this chest that you left there She thinks I'm perfect she thinks I'm smart The only thing missing is my heart That You took with you, twice If you ever come back, I fear it'll be thrice So I can't I'm not strong enough The things we discussed Weren’t enough Rockets, chess, 7 Egyptians, and the rest Can all blow me. I'm not finishing this test -good bye You were the best
