It's a Shame

The time has come, there is no second chance

We've been drifting on an empty aching sea

You were the girl I never knew I wanted

I was the boy you hoped you'd never see

Chorus

And it's a shame

That we ain't lovers

We could've been something, so big and grand

Just kissin' for hours

underneath that sweet magnolia

Beggin' for answers, tryin' to make a stand

Been burnin' up the hours, talkin' to the midnight

Just dreaming of ways I could hold you next to me

But maybe it just wasn't meant, all things have a reason

Maybe our hearts were just too careless and free

Repeat Chorus

There was a time, when you would have had me

There was a time, I could have had you

But it's too late, another path has come and gone again

I'm at the back door with a broken window view thinkin'

Repeat Chorus

I'm so tired of writin', but I can't put down my pen

It's too late now to talk or turn back

So just hold on, 'cause baby here we go again

Headin' the wrong way down that one way track

Repeat Chorus
