The sign you missed

Verse 1

I left the door wide open, never hid from you

Always making plans, hoping you’d come through

Every time I asked, I was left in-between

Waiting on a “yes” that you’d never mean

I was always reaching, you were taking your time

And I sat there waiting, reading every sign

I gave you moments, you let them pass

Now they’re just shadows in a broken past

Pre-Chorus

I was spelling it out in every way I knew

But you were looking everywhere but the truth

Chorus

You missed the sign written in my eyes

In every almost, every maybe, every time

I was right there, heart on a wire

You walked past love like it wasn’t on fire

Now I’m still here, and you’re still gone

And I’m stuck singing what went wrong

You had the chance, you let it slip

I’m still single ‘cause of the sign you missed

Verse 2 (Car Scene)

That night in your car, windows cracked to the breeze

Radio playing something soft underneath

We both went quiet, didn’t know what to say

But something bigger was filling that space

I felt it hit like a wave in my chest

Like every doubt just got laid to rest

You looked at me, then you looked away

Like you were scared of what it would say

Pre-Chorus

We both felt something we can’t pretend

But you chose fear over what could’ve been

Chorus

You missed the sign written in my eyes

In every silence screaming “this is right”

I was right there, close as desire

And you let go when it climbed higher

Now I’m still here, and you’re still gone

And I replay that night all along

You felt it too—I know you did

That was the moment… and you missed it

Verse 3 (The Turning Point)

We were sitting there like we always did

At our usual place, just us in it

Then she walked in and you let her stay

Like I was just someone in the way

I felt it break but I kept it calm

Said nothing, just grabbed my things and gone

You didn’t stop me, didn’t even try

So I walked out with it all inside

Later you asked if we could talk

Like nothing changed, like nothing was lost

I said, “you didn’t feel anything… did you?”

Then changed the subject before you could

Bridge

Don’t tell me you didn’t feel it then

That kind of spark don’t come again

It wasn’t subtle, it wasn’t small

It was everything, it was all

You had forever in your hands

But you let go ‘cause you didn’t understand

And before the feeling faded out

You gave your heart to someone else somehow

Final Chorus

You missed the sign written in my soul

In that quiet car where we lost control

Of everything we were meant to be

You chose to turn instead of see

Now I’m still here, learning to move on

While you moved on like it wasn’t wrong

I asked you once, but I bit my lip

Now I’m still single ‘cause of the sign you missed

Outro (Final Line)

And the worst part is… you didn’t miss it—

you felt it… and still chose her.
