What Could Have Been
Unspoken Love Lost: Steve Olson's Tale of Missed Moments
Lyrics
As the lonely hours pass
Reflecting on the passing time spent alone
I sit and wonder why
Pondering reasons behind certain events
Why I didn't tell you
Regret for not expressing feelings at the parting moment
How I felt when we said goodbye
Unshared emotions during the goodbye
Once again I'm thinking
Revisiting thoughts about a missed romantic opportunity
About the one I let get away
Recalling a lost chance with someone significant
And how you let me go as well
Both parties allowing the separation to occur
I guess all I can say
Admitting limited words for the situation
It's an age-old story
Describing a common narrative throughout history
Seems like from the beginning of time
A timeless pattern of missed opportunities in love
Lovers miss their moment
People missing chances in their relationships
Never really knowing Why
Uncertainty behind missed opportunities
Never giving what could have been a try
Not attempting what could have been in a relationship
We were together for a moment now that moments gone
Remembering a fleeting shared time now gone
Fear got in the way, and both of us moved on
Fear hindering progress, leading to moving on
Yes, love may have taken root and may have bloomed
Possibility of love growing but hindered by lack of risk-taking
But without taking the chance any hope for that was doomed
Chances for love were doomed due to hesitancy
It's an age-old story
Reiterating the recurring theme of missed opportunities
Seems like from the beginning of time
Continuation of the timeless pattern in love stories
Lovers miss their moment
Repeated instances of missing romantic moments
Never really knowing, Why
Perpetual lack of understanding behind missed opportunities
Never giving what could have been a try
Failure to explore potential possibilities in relationships
You may have been the one for me but know I'll never know
Recognition that the truth about a potential connection will remain unknown
You may have been the one to have and hold
Recognition of a missed chance for a committed relationship
Before you know it the world has turned
Life moves swiftly, altering circumstances
And all your left with is lessons learned
Reflecting on the lessons gained from experiences
And the wish that someday another chance to find a love that grows
Desire for another opportunity to find enduring love
