The chance I didn't take

You asked me my favorite flower, I said I didn’t know

Still you made a bouquet, hoping I’d show

I stayed home, too shy to face the night

But you sent me love wrapped in colors and light

We talked through screens, hearts half-revealed You had someone, so I kept mine sealed

But that Halloween night, we sat on the stairs Confessed our hearts in the cool night air

And when we hugged before heading home

It felt so right—like I’d never been alone

You asked if you'd ever have a chance with me

I said no, but I didn’t mean it truthfully

Now you're gone, and I’m stuck in yesterday Thinking 'bout the chance I didn’t take

You posted The Secret History, I read it just to feel close

Every line a shadow of the girl I miss the most Greek tragedies and twisted fate

I lived your story, but I came too late

I can't stop thinking about you

Since the day we stopped to talk

Since the night I told you no

I can't stop thinking about you

Can't get you out of my head

Even though I tried so many times

Even though I tried so many nights

To get over you

But this never really ended

It was the right soul, the wrong time

You're my soulmate, my twin flame still burning in my mind

You asked if you'd ever have a chance with me

I said no, but I didn’t mean it truthfully

Now you're hers, and I’m stuck in yesterday Thinking 'bout the chance I didn’t take

Maybe in another life, I’d be brave

Maybe I’d show up, maybe I’d stay

But for now, I just replay

The chance...

The chance I didn’t take
