Untaken
The last chance, take a look, take a glance
Memorize it in remembrance
The wind is slipping through your fingers
You can't hold on, it's telling you whispers

You fade away, it fails to stay
That was your chance, blindness at a glance

There's no fate, no destiny
It's what you failed to miss
Blame but your own
Nothing can tell you
That you should have known

There was a time I thought I knew
with certainty,
