• It's the end of the year
    I've got to dismiss all my fears
    You're at the other end of the room
    Every moment seems to come too soon
    I'm marching over, left, right, left, right,
    trying to keep my confidence, fists tight,
    Eyes locked on the target, my jaw set
    He doesn't know what's gonna hit him yet.
    Adrenaline trickles through my veins.
    My heart rate quickens, and I call his name.
    He looks up, and I freeze.
    I shiver in the warm noon breeze.
    I try to remember what I wanted to say.
    But then I see Marissa, headed our way.
    Her swift movements, swift words,
    tore him away before he even heard.
    And I was left to stand like a fool,
    thinking about how senseless and cruel
    that girl was, and the state she left me in,
    Wondering what could've been.
    I never got the chance to say good bye,
    you weren't even there to see me cry.
    All these years I could've tried,
    but my nerves were racked, my tongue was tied.
    And now it's too late
    I let you fall through the cracks
    Watched you slip through my fingers,
    and I can't get you back.
