I was given a chance at a budding romance
But I cowered away and took a defensive stance
I don't know what to say
I don't know how to play this game
I said don't jump the gun, you know true love will come
Even the early bird waits for the sun
I don't know what to feel
Maybe true love just isn't for everyone
I can't say I lost
I can't say I've gained
'Cause every possession has only remained
I wish I could lose
Something so dear
At least then I'd know there was a time it was here
And I, I thought I was a scholar
Withdrawn from love
Why would I even bother?
But no one called my bluff
I let my novel rust
My heart was here wasting away in this constant decay
Half lives passing by day by day
I can't say I lost
I can't say I've gained
'Cause every possession has only remained
I wish I could lose
Something so dear
At least then I'd know there was a time it was here
I can't say I lost
I can't say I've gained
'Cause every possession has only remained
I wish I could lose
Something so dear
At least then I'd know there was a time it was here
I was given a chance at a budding romance
But I cowered away and took a defensive stance
I don't know what to say
I don't know how to play this game
I said don't jump the gun, you know true love will come
Even the early bird waits for the sun
I don't know what to feel
Maybe true love just isn't for everyone
