Story Behind The Song

Song Description

Song about missing your chance because you played it too cool.

Lyrics

Long ago when I was young
I thought that being cool made me strong
Because of my stupid pride
I threw it all away

I thought you gotta be cruel if you want to be kind
and hurting you gave me piece of mind
But I never thought you'd turn your back
and walk away, like you did that that day

If only I could take myself back in time
I'd tell you how I felt, and you'd be mine
But it's too late, and baby, now you're gone
you gotta use it or lose it, you get one chance then its gone

If you get a chance, strike while the irons hot
'cos you may not get another shot
and if you don't ever use it
you've thrown it all away

There's plenty more fish in the sea
But none of them do what you did to me
I now know what to say so they
don't walk away, like you did that day

If only I could take myself back in time
I'd tell you how I felt, and you'd be mine (you're so fine)
But it's too late, and baby, now you're gone
you gotta use it or lose it, you get one chance then its gone

If only I could take myself back in time
I'd tell you how I felt, and you'd be mine (you're so fine)
But it's too late, and baby, now you're gone
you gotta use it or lose it, you get one chance then its gone (gone, gone, gone)
