Forgotten Dance

Verse

I saw the way you looked at me across that crowded room

A fleeting spark, a quiet smile, I thought was bound to bloom

For years I kept this secret safe, just wishing you could see

And for a second, there it was—you looked right back at me

You whispered things that felt so real, you made me feel so high

But I was just a passing cloud in your summer sky

Chorus

I thought you liked me, I thought we had a chance

But now I’m standing on the edge of a forgotten dance

Go on and kiss her, do what you have to do

You leave me hollow while she gets the best of you

She’s everything I’ll never be, but why can’t you see?

It hurts to watch you choose her, and ask what’s wrong with me.

Verse

I watch her laugh at all your jokes, it looks so effortless

She wears the confidence I lack, a picture-perfect dress

And I'm just sitting on the sidelines, tearing at my heart

Trying to find the exact moment we began to drift apart

We never even had a label, just a beautiful mistake

A couple months of "almost" for a lifetime of heartache

Chorus

I thought you liked me, I thought we had a chance

But now I’m standing on the edge of a forgotten dance

Go on and kiss her, do what you have to do

You leave me hollow while she gets the best of you

She’s everything I’ll never be, but why can’t you see?

It hurts to watch you choose her, and ask what’s wrong with me.

Bridge

Was I too easy to leave behind?

A temporary fix just to pass the time?

Years of hoping shattered by the way you look at her

Like she’s the only thing that you’ve been certain of

And it breaks me down, yeah, it breaks me small

To know we were so close, but never ours at all

Chorus

I thought you liked me, I thought we had a chance

But now I’m standing on the edge of a forgotten dance

Go on and kiss her, do what you have to do

You leave me hollow while she gets the best of you

She’s everything I’ll never be, but why can’t you see?

It hurts to watch you choose her, and ask what’s wrong with me.

Outro

Go choose her.

Go on and kiss her.

We never even started, but it’s over.

What was so wrong with me?

I guess I’ll never know.
