Temptation was too strong to look but avoid touch
So we gave into what we wanted, we gave into so much
We took a little glimpse and passed each other by
Don't ask me to explain, it's been strange for a while
You'll tell me what I want to hear, but I'll know when it's a lie
I had the chance to let go
I could've missed the pain
But I know it wasn't a mistake
What we need to realize is that it took us by surprise
We shouldn't turn away from the things we need to say
Now I'm stuck here with a choice 'cause I need to hear your voice
But this foolish pride is killing me
Now that I am looking back I have no regrets
But somehow I've been let down from the things that I expect
The right time is gonna come but maybe not just yet
I had the chance to let go
(We could've gone our separate ways)
I could've missed the pain
(You know that I've seen better days)
But I know
(There's this feeling inside that won't go away)
It wasn't a mistake
What we need to realize
Is that it took us by surprise
We shouldn't turn away
From the things we need to say
Now I'm stuck here with a choice
Because I need to hear your voice
But this foolish pride is killing me
