(Verse 1)
I was ready to take the leap, but my heart had other plans
Fear of the unknown, it took over my hands
I typed out a message, canceling our night
And hit send, without a fight
(Chorus)
Now I'm left here wondering, what could've been
If I had just been brave, and taken the leap within
But my doubts got the best of me, and I let go
And now I'm left to pick up the pieces, and wonder why I said no
(Verse 2)
I've been down this road before, with scars that still remain
Abusive hands that held me tight, and a love that was in vain
I thought I'd learned to let go, to trust again someday
But the memories linger on, and they whisper "don't go near the flame"
(Chorus)
Now I'm left here wondering, what could've been
If I had just been brave, and taken the leap within
But my doubts got the best of me, and I let go
And now I'm left to pick up the pieces, and wonder why I said no
(Bridge)
Maybe someday I'll learn, to let go of my fears
And take a chance on love, and wipe away my tears
But for now, I'll just stay here, and wonder what's to come
And hope that someday, I'll find my heart's missing beat, and be done
(Verse 3)
I know I deserve to love, to be loved in return
But the ghosts of my past, they whisper "you'll get burned"
I'm trying to silence them, to find my inner voice
But it's hard to shake the feeling, that I'm making a fatal choice
(Chorus)
Now I'm left here wondering, what could've been
If I had just been brave, and taken the leap within
But my doubts got the best of me, and I let go
And now I'm left to pick up the pieces, and wonder why I said no
