She walked away with her head held high
Never looked back not a tear in her eye
She had the chance to say those three words
But silence reigned and love was blurred
She wouldn't wait wouldn't take the time
To let love grow to let hearts align
In her haste she left behind
A love so true so rare to find
She robbed herself of a lifetime's grace
Of the greatest joy she can't replace
Took away happiness that will never return
A love once bright now left to burn
He stood there hoping for just a sign
A simple whisper a word so fine
But she turned away her heart so cold
Left him standing a story untold
She wouldn't wait wouldn't take the chance
To hold on tight to a perfect romance
In her haste she cast aside
A love that would've been her guide
She robbed herself of a lifetime's grace
Of the greatest joy she can't replace
Took away happiness that will never return
A love once bright now left to burn
Now she wanders lost and alone
Haunted by memories of a love once known
The damage done unmeasurable vast
Living in shadows of a shattered past
She robbed herself of a lifetime's grace
Of the greatest joy she can't replace
Took away happiness that will never return
A love once bright now left to burn
She wouldn't wait wouldn't say those words
Now forever echoes a pain that stirs
She took away the dream they both deserved
A love so pure a future unserved
