"Never Had a Chance"

(Verse 1)

I knew you for so long
You knew me, too
My feelings were so strong
And you know
They were (oh) so true

I wanted to be
By your side
(by your side)
I wanted to be
With you and no one else
(no one else)
I wanted to be
Able to show you that
I was so true
(so true)

(Chorus)
But I never had a chance
I never had a chance
To show you that I cared
To prove that my love was strong

Strong enough to last for eternity
To last as long as you wanted it to
I would have been there
For you and no one else

But I never had a chance
I never had a chance
That much is true
The opportunity never arose
I wanted so much for us to be
Together in love with one another
But how was I to know
That you loved another?

(Verse 2)
My heart was dealt a blow
A blow from which
There was no recovery
The aching in my heart
Tore my soul apart
The aching in my heart
Why did it start?

I felt so much love
But I never could show it
But it was there
I was in love with you
No matter how much I wanted to burst out and tell you
I had to keep it hidden
IronicallyOut of love for you
Your happiness was all
That I wanted for so long
But I realize
Now,
After so long
After so much torture
That you already are
As happy as I wanted
For you
To
Be

(Chorus)
But I never had a chance
I never had a chance
To show you that I cared
To prove that my love was strong
Strong enough to last for eternity
To last as long as you wanted it to
I would have been there
For you and no one else

But I never had a chance
I never had a chance
That much is true
The opportunity never arose
I wanted so much for us to be
Together in love with one another
But how was I to know
That you loved another?

(Preferred solo point)

I never had a chance
I never had a chance
To show you that I cared
To prove that my love was strong
Strong enough to last for eternity
To last as long as you wanted it to
I would have been there
For you and no one else.
