lyrics

There was a time when we could have been closer

But we were too busy pretending to live

There was a place where we could have lingered

But you didn't know how to take and I didn't know how to give



There was a word that was only half-spoken

Into a silence that we didn't intend

There was someone who I really cared for

But I never knew how not to be friends


What might have been, will we ever know?



There was a gift that never was given

There was a love that never was named

There was a world awaiting discovery

Did you ever realize just how close we came?



Still the words remain unspoken

Still the door remains unopened

Still the dreams remain unbroken

They're all that I have
