I see you there in my mind's eye
The ghost of a love that never took flight
You and me but never us
A story that just couldn't ignite
Maybe that's why I can't let go
Clinging to the hope of what could have been
Though I know it's better this way
Your memory lingers within
My head says it's over
My heart won't agree
Caught in this chaos
Of what you meant to me
Sitting here I wonder
Why we missed our chance
All I ever wanted
Was one more dance
I'm tangled up in thoughts of you
Even though I know it's through
The future we'll never know
A dream that just won't grow
Still I'm stuck in this place
Lost in the shadows of what we could be
Trying to move forward
But your face won't set me free
My head says it's over
My heart won't agree
Caught in this chaos
Of what you meant to me
Sitting here I wonder
Why we missed our chance
All I ever wanted
Was one more dance
I'm fighting with myself
In a war I can't win
Knowing it's better this way
But wishing you were here again
My head says it's over
My heart won't agree
Caught in this chaos
Of what you meant to me
Sitting here I wonder
Why we missed our chance
All I ever wanted
Was one more dance
So I sit and I ponder
Dreams lost in the past
You and me but never us
A love that couldn't last
