Sweet bliss with every kiss
I blush with every touch
The joy and the splendor that is you
Was every risk
A fragile vow upon my lips
A world built on a simple trust
I thought the fire could never fade
That all my doubt was just misplaced
(Chorus)
"Was" is the word you missed
I dreamed and hoped and wished
For love that wasn't there
I gave all of me to you and now I’m bare
Is this fair?
(Verse 2 - Expanded)
Would you say it so
For a love you never let grow
A prayer wasted on passion that you never could show
Why? Why didn't you try?
You held the key, I locked the door
To all the chances we ignored
We stood so close, but miles apart
A hollow echo in my heart
(Chorus)
"Was" is the word you missed
I dreamed and hoped and wished
For love that wasn't there
I gave all of me to you and now I’m bare
Is this fair?
(Bridge)
That same look in your eye
Was it always a lie?
Wasted emotion as time goes by
Give and take, bend not break
This was always our mistake
(Chorus)
"Was" is the word you missed
I dreamed and hoped and wished
For love that wasn't there
I gave all of me to you and now I’m bare
Is this fair?
(Outro)
Fooled and pained by a person as such
Asking for your heart was asking for too much
Give me back the tears I've cried
Give me hope in a new bride
All I have left is my pride
Goodbye...
(Fade out)
