this tale begins i'm the fool without a clue wishing i had said the things that mean so much to you for though i cared my fumbled words came much too late that you may know i loved you now you're gone and emotions unexpressed keep haunting me with memories, regrets and my missteps with each flower that i place i seek a grace i sorely need that you may know i loved you if i could i'd bring you back and do things differently i should have listened to that voice deep down inside of me i would take back all my mistakes but time won't let me now and all the coulds, shoulds and woulds, they don't mean anything foolish pride, kept affections deep inside a mystery, as i used to be all smiles and open arms humility could not find me lost was the chance at honesty that you may know i loved you if i could i'd bring you back and do things differently i should have listened to that voice deep down inside of me i would take back all my mistakes but time won't let me now and all the coulds, shoulds and woulds, they don't mean anything this story ends I will make it up to you you'll reach to me and we'll embrace in some other time and place for that is my dream while i lie awake late nights that you may know i loved you i loved you i loved you
