It was only one night’s chance,
One perfect, reckless dance,
A moment wrapped in spark,
Now it’s echoing in the dark.
I try to keep my distance,
Fighting off this persistence,
Telling my heart to let it be,
While it keeps reaching for what could be.
You replay inside my mind,
Like a feeling I can’t confine,
Still lingering in my soul,
Still a pull I can’t control.
You felt like something rare,
Like a love that could’ve been there,
Beautiful in every way,
The kind that makes you want to stay.
But I know what this really is,
More than just a stolen kiss,
A fleet high, a perfect view,
But not a life I can build with you.
And it hurts not speaking truth,
Not chasing what I want to do,
How I crave you, how I yearn,
Even knowing there’s nothing to earn.
My heart says take the chance,
Go back and relive the dance,
But my mind won’t let me fall
For something that won’t last at all.
You’re a feeling I can’t keep,
Something beautiful but not for me,
Not the future I need to choose,
Just a moment I have to lose.
So I’m stepping back again,
Even though it feels like I’m losing,
Letting logic take the lead,
Over every silent plea.
So I’ll let time do what I can’t,
Break this want I never planned,
‘Cause if I follow how I feel,
I’d chase a love that isn’t real.
