I can't begin to say thanks
and I won't pretend say grace
it all starts and ends
with the sum of our sins
and we both damn our souls to save face
I can't hope to change your mind
and I don't suppose it's worth the trying
so as we part ways
close the door on my cage
and my hopes and these damned dreams of mine
Would you believe you're the one I was made for
the one that I prayed for
a love straight from folklore?
Would you believe you were just what I wished?
(I just got the gist)
The one I want most is the one I just missed
We came so close
we came so far
can't you wait just a minute more?
You showed me all the ins and outs
can't you show me more than your spiteful side
as you show yourself out a side door?
Where I do from here
it's anyone's guess anymore
So I can't begin to say thanks
and I won't begin to give chase
what's left of me stands
as you slip through my hands
and leave me alone on the stage
And this is the end of the act
the show and the scene and the cast
the words that I chose
when the curtain had closed
are the ones I hope you heard me ask
Would you believe you're the one I was made for
the one that I prayed for
a love straight from folklore?
Would you believe you were just what I wished?
(I just got the gist)
The one I want most is the one I just missed
The one I just missed
