wish i could see what i was born for

wish i could see the path i should walk toward

wish i could see the girl i was meant for

wish i could be the man i was built for

help me prove that i could’ve done more

oh

oh i know if i died today

i’d still see that smile fade away

’cause there were moments that i knew i couldn’t waste

but i stood still, and time kept moving anyway

if i had just one chance to see you face to face

i’d take it, wouldn’t even hesitate

’cause i miss the way it felt when you were close

how everything would change just when you showed

i miss you more than i could ever say

these thoughts about you never fade away-ay

that night i wish i had the heart to stay

i wish i didn’t let my fear decide that day-ay

but there’s some things i know i can’t change

and what i didn’t do is something that will always stay

if i had one chance to see you face to face

i’d take it, wouldn’t even hesitate

’cause i miss the way i felt when you were close to me

the way your face would change when you looked so sweet

but maybe that was just the way my eyes were made

did you see a broken me, afraid of try-ing

or just a lonely boy still learning timing

i had the chance, i knew it then

i just didn’t know how much it’d mean back when

now every hope feels like a door i closed

every “maybe” turns to what i’ll never know

but there’s some things i know i can’t change

and what i didn’t do is something that will always stay

if i had one chance to see you face to face

i’d take it, wouldn’t even hesitate

’cause i miss the way i felt when you were close to me

the way your face would change when you looked at me

but maybe that was just the way my eyes were made

i was in my room alone on christmas eve

when i found the card you made for me

i read it slow, every line hit deep

knowing then i had something real in reach

i was scared of what it meant, scared of the truth

scared that choosing you meant losing who i knew

now i’m stuck with words i never gave to you

and a moment i was too afraid to take its true

but there’s some things i know i can’t change

and what i didn’t do is something that will always stay

if i had one chance to see you face to face

i’d take it, wouldn’t even hesitate

maybe i just wasn’t brave enough back then

maybe love was something i didn’t understand

or maybe that was just the way my eyes were made

way my eyes were made
