I let him get away

It seems to me that this could be but now has passed me by
It seems to me he doesn't see and now I can't ask why
Wishing it was meant to be will never make him stay
So I let it be and let him get away

Maybe I was right for him but now I'll never know
Maybe I should fight for him and I should tell him so
But I can't find the words and now he'll never hear me say
And the moment's passed I let it get away

Oh no, what have I done to this
Oh no, I've only just begun to miss
Everything about us that will never be

Oh no, what have I done to this
Oh no, I've only just begun to miss
Everything about us that will never be

Why did I tell him about the girl who said to pass it on
I could have stopped I should have lied
I knew that it was wrong
So now I have to watch them both and smile along the way
While they start their lives I let him get away

I will stop, say how good it was and what a lovely day
Now I have to turn and walk away
