Does she feel the energy the way that I do
In the air whenever we get in the same room?
'Cause I don't know how to read her mind
And I don't wanna cross the line
Does she know I'm thinking 'bout her plenty?
Overthinking if she'd even let me
Moving closer now to hear me say

That I don't wanna go home
and leave as just friends
But I keep letting her go,
and then it just ends

I was a no, never maybe
I knew she'd never take a chance on me
How did it go? We'll never see
I knew she'd never take a chance on me
I didn't know no better
I wouldn't let myself believe
No, we'll never see
'Cause I never let her take a chance,
let her take a chance on me

Tell me, tell me, tell me where you are now
I could show up in the middle of the night to
Try to make up for the time we lost
Try to put a little love on us
'Cause I know I still think about her plenty
If I found the confidence, yeah
Would she let me?
Why does it always have to be this way?

It's caught inside of my mind
What we could have been
But I keep letting her go,
and then it just ends

I was a no, never maybe
I knew she'd never take a chance on me
How did it go? We'll never see
I knew she'd never take a chance on me
I didn't know no better
I wouldn't let myself believe
No, we'll never see
'Cause I never let her take a chance,
let her take a chance on me

Now that she's gone, gone, gone
Now that it's done, done, done
I should've known that I was better
If I gave us a chance, we'd be together

I was a no, never maybe
I knew she'd never take a chance on me
How did it go? We'll never see
I knew she'd never take a chance on me
I didn't know no better
I wouldn't let myself believe
(Didn't know better)
No, we'll never see
'Cause I never let her take a chance,
let her take a chance on me
I didn't know no better
I wouldn't let myself believe
That we'll never see
'Cause I never let her take a chance,
let her take a chance on me

(Never see, chance on me)
