The Price I Pay

We never spoke a word

But every thought I had you heard

I see your beautiful face

But I could never find the words to say

I didn’t even know your name

I blame foolish pride to pay

I fell in love

As you went away

My heart knows what to say

But my mouth is afraid

I lose this battle

But I live to fight another day

I didn’t chase a dream

So I let my regret take place

I should have asked you to dance

I fell down on my face

I rolled the dice and took a leap of faith

I picked myself up as you laughed away

I should have taken a chance and held your hand

Was it worth it

Was it worth the price I had to pay
