Two broken people
Alone with their memories
A lifetime of aching
That won't go away
Why do they bother
With loving each other
When they just cause each other pain
He sees the world that he
Set out to conquer
He counts every compromise
Made on the way
Her dreams were smaller
He didn't see them
When he finally did
It was too late
Chance of a lifetime
And we didn't grab it
We missed the boat
We were late for the train
We always said someday
We'd pull it together
But someday is gone
And it won't come again
Late one October
The holidays coming
He packed his bags and he left in the rain
She knew he was leaving
She didn't stop him
She's knows alone either way
Chance of a lifetime
And we didn't grab it
We missed the boat
We were late for the train
We always said someday
We'd pull it together
But someday is gone
And it won't come again
