Friends to Lovers - Now You're Gone (Holding Her Hand) Lyrics

Now you're with her, and I see you smile
And I'm here wondering, just once in a while
If things would be different if I'd been more bold
Instead of staying quiet, afraid to unfold


I told myself I'd wait, thought I'd know when it's right
But now I just watch as she holds you tight


And now I think of what could've been
If I'd only let you in
Every moment I kept inside
All the words I swallowed, trying to hide
Now she's got you, and I feel so small
Thinking of us, I could have had it all
But I let you slip away like sand
And now you're gone, holding her hand


I remember the laughs, how close we were
The way you looked at me when it was just us
I held back my heart, thought I'd keep it safe
But now it's breaking, watching you drift away


Told myself someday, that I'd find the nerve
But now she's got you, and I'm left here hurt


And now I think of what could've been
If I'd only let you in
Every moment I kept inside
All the words I swallowed, trying to hide
Now she's got you, and I feel so small
Thinking of us, I could have had it all
But I let you slip away like sand
And now you're gone, holding her hand


I see you together, and I try to smile
But I'm breaking apart, mile by mile
Wishing I'd dared, wishing I'd tried
Now I'm haunted by dreams of you every night


I can't help but think of what could've been
If I'd only let you in
All the chances I left behind
All the times I thought, "He'll always be mine"
Now she's got you, and I'm all alone
Regretting the words I should've shown
You slipped through my hands, like I let you go
And now you're gone, in love with her so


I thought there'd be time, that I'd always have you
Now all I'm left with is what isn't true
If only I'd known, if only I'd tried
Maybe tonight, you'd be here by my side
