Verse1
Seen you just the other day
hadn't talked to you in years
even though I was in so much pain
I couldn't take my eyes off you
when you turned and looked back at me
I remember why
I just couldn't say the words
I needed to say
the moment I looked into your baby blues
you got in your car
and drove away
Verse2
Here we are years later
and some things have changed
but some things are still the same
never met a woman like you
everytime I hear your name
I say to myself
Bridge
Why
couldn't I just talk to you
and why
couldn't I just say what was
on my mind
and in my soul
you're on my heart
now I can't let you go
Chorus
I let that Forgotten Hope
get the best of me again
I lost you once
now I
have that regret
deep inside
I just can't let you go now
I can't let that
Forgotten Hope
get the best of me now
Verse3
When I finally
had the words to say
you already found someone else
married and went away
now here you are
standing in front of me
here I am
still trying to find the words to say
(solo)
Verse4
Here I am
still empty handed
without you here in my arms
and it's eating me up inside
if I can't have you now
then I probably never will
so I'll just walk away
but if there's a chance
I pray you'll come after me
'cause I don't wanna
spend the rest of my life
saying
Repeat Bridge and Chorus
