my regret

Should've, could've, would've done

So many things I left undone

Should've gotten over my shyness and talked to you

But because of that, my feelings didn't break through

And I'm left with nothing but memories and what if's again

Wondering what could've happened, what could've been

Five years later I come across a picture of you

Looking out at a beautiful island view

Looks like you've got it together; like you're doing good

Looks like the pleasures of this world don't have you fooled

When I see that your single, my heart skips a beat

I push  away my laptop, and sink down in my seat

Close my eyes and go back five years

Bring up old memories of you, and my heart tears

I remember your voice, your smile, your eyes

I remember how you would always try

To not make it obvious that you were staring at me

How sweet, outgoing and loving you could be

How even though we hardly ever talked

In any argument, you always backed me up

How you always showed off when I was around

And when you'd catch me looking, I'd look down at the ground

I could make you blush by just looking at you

You'd turn bright red, and stutter and trip too

You were every girl's dream guy

But I never even dared to say hi

I knew you liked me, and you knew I liked you

But I was very shy and you were too

It went on like that for three years

I was too scared you'd cost me too many tears

You were too good to be true, and I was a mess

So I gave up on you, and went for second best

I broke your heart, and he broke mine

And you moved away, and got lost in time

And today as I write this, I find myself crying

But I'm gonna forget you, I have to keep trying

I lost my chance a long time ago

My biggest mistake was letting you go

I wonder if you remember me, but I know that you don't

I wonder if we will ever meet again, but I know that we won't

So I'll just cry in silence for what I could've had

Pray for you, and hope that you're successful and glad

I can't undo what's been done, I can't turn back the time

You'll never be mine now, but I think I'll be fine.
