I cling on to you with a death grip,
Mistaken that you wanted to be saved.
I stayed and waited at the same place.
And hope that I would see you again.

Little did I know that you’ve been hiding,
Watching me carry on.
It’s funny we’re so close in distance,
Yet I’ve not bumped into you even once.

Not even once.

Are you cruel,
Or were my hopes too high?
Was it one last chance that just passed us by?

How do you sleep at night,
How do you pass time?
While I spend each day hoping we’re alright.
Or did you already know...?

Our time has died,
Our time has died.
We were just two people,
In the wrong place
At the wrong time.

This song I wrote, it should be relatable to broken hearts who fell hard for someone who's not meant to be. It could be someone else's wife. It could be an ex who left you because you were abusive. It could be a best friend.

It could be what Romeo and Juliet would feel if they both grew up a little older, and have major responsibilities to adhere to society's expectation.

I just didn't think that there would come a day where I would experience such angst myself.
