She was a friend of a friend of mine
I noticed her as she passed me by
She didn't even look me in the eye
I tried to think of things to say
Poured some wine but she looked away
I didn't even talk to her that night
For a while
I thought I stood a chance The way she smiled,
it's so sweet
For a while I thought I figured her out
That we were meant to be
But she said no, no,
no
She just said no, no She said no,
no
People put me in my place I felt the door slam in my face
Spent a long time standing in the rain
I've been on the losing end
All my dreams seem just pretend Once
or twice thought I would go insane
For a while I thought I stood a chance But I was back on my feet
For a while I thought I figured it out That it was meant to be
I
didn't
even talk to her that night For
a while I thought I stood a chance
No, no, no
No,
no, no
Funny how your worst mistake can lead you to your lucky break
It only made me who I am
today
All the while,
always stood a chance
I was asleep on my two feet Took a while to figure it out
To see the forest for the trees
the marks.
I was asleep on my two feet.
Took a while to figure it out.
See the forest, fold the trees.
And now I know, know,
know.
And now I know, now I know,
know, know.
