A song that I wrote about a guy who lost his love to another because he was taking her love for granted.
Lyrics
(Verse 1)
I should have known, I should have seen
The way you looked at him, your eyes so serene
You were my world, my everything
But I took your love for granted, let it slip through
(Chorus)
Now I watch from afar, as he treats you like a queen
The way I should have, if I'd only been
More attentive, more loving, more true
Oh my love, I lost you
(Verse 2)
I remember the way you used to smile
The way your laughter could make my heart run wild
We had something special, something so rare
But I let it slip away, I just didn't care
(Chorus)
Now I watch from afar, as he treats you like a queen
The way I should have, if I'd only been
More attentive, more loving, more true
Oh my love, I lost you
(Bridge)
I see the way he holds you, the way he makes you shine
I know he loves you deeply, in a way that was never mine
If only I could turn back time, if only I could make things right
But now I'm left in the shadows, watching you in the light
(Chorus)
Now I watch from afar, as he treats you like a queen
The way I should have, if I'd only been
More attentive, more loving, more true
I lost you
(Outro)
I lost you, my love, my everything
I watched you slip away, as he made you his queen
If only I could have one more chance, to show you how much you mean
But now I'm left with the memories, of what could have been.
