Love Doesn't Wait

Painted skies and summer sunsets
Misty eyes and words left unsaid
I didn't dare cross that one line
So instead I held our fingers intertwined

All the words I tried to say
They found the breeze and fell away
Leaving me with nothing
But a breath in the silence

Love doesn't wait
It slips right through your fingers
Falling through the cracks
'Til you're left wondering what lingers
Love doesn't wait
But I did
And now I'm afraid
That I've missed it and messed things up with you

It's been years but I still regret
Not saying something when I had a hundred chances
What if I had told you
That I loved you?
Would you have stayed? Stayed for me?

All the words I tried to say
They found the breeze and fell away
Leaving me alone and you're
Standing there beside him

Love doesn't wait
It slips right through your fingers
Falling through the cracks
'Til you're left wondering what lingers
Love doesn't wait
But I did
And now I'm afraid
That I've missed it and messed things up with you

I guess we were just soulmates
At the wrong time
Two searching people
Meant to pass each other by
We were just soulmates
At the wrong time
Maybe we were lucky enough
In another life
But who am I
To stand in the way of your happiness?
So I'll bite my tongue
And watch from the side
As you fall for him

Love doesn't wait
It slips right through your fingers
Falling through the cracks
'Til you're left wondering what lingers
Love doesn't wait
But I did
And now I'm afraid
That I've missed it and messed things up with you
