[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

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Withdrawn from love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

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

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
