why didn’t you just say
that you once felt the same way
as I really adored you
couldn’t you have given me a clue

you knew then what you meant to me
it was so obvious to see
and still you never said a word
so I was surprised when I heard

all those thoughts come into my head
if only you had chosen me instead
if you had decided to wait
but now, it’s just too late

when I saw him giving you his sweater
and how happy you were together
and it’s true, sometimes I think about it again
if only I had known back then

anyway, because you were so happy with him
I chose to throw the towel in the ring
I knew I would have to find someone new
but if you are happy, then I am too
