You walked away, thought I'd always be okay,
But now you’re calling, like it’s all just a game.
Promises in the dark, they fade with the light,
And I’m left here wondering, was it wrong or right?
You say you’ve changed, but I’ve heard that line before,
Every time you run, it just leaves me wanting more.
(Chorus)
Hey, all it took was a chance,
You had my heart so close,
Then you turned and vanished, left me standing in the cold.
Now you’re reaching for what’s gone,
But darling, it’s too late;
It could’ve been simple,
If you had learned to stay.
You show up now, but I’m not that same girl,
Picking up the pieces from your reckless world.
You always seem to crave, what you can’t keep,
But I’m not the one to lose; I’m stronger than you think.
You say you’ve changed, but I've built my walls so high,
You can’t just appear and act like I’m the one to try.
(Chorus)
Hey, all it took was a chance,
You had my heart so close,
Then you turned and vanished, left me standing in the cold.
Now you’re reaching for what’s gone,
But darling, it’s too late;
It could’ve been simple,
If you had learned to stay.
Now the echoes of your voice, they don’t feel the same,
I’ve made my peace with choices, and I won’t play your game.
You thought I’d come running back like I was meant to fall,
But the truth is in the silence, you’ll find I’ve built my walls.
(Chorus)
Hey, all it took was a chance,
You had my heart so close,
Then you turned and vanished, left me standing in the cold.
Now you’re reaching for what’s gone,
But darling, it’s too late;
It could’ve been simple,
If you had learned to stay.
So here we are, but the story’s come undone,
You’ll learn the hard way that love can’t be outrun.
And now I’m moving on, while you're stuck in the past,
It could’ve been beautiful, if only it could last.
