the moments that we hold on to

you touch my hand
i look you in the eyes
smile a little
say good job, good bye.
and this is what it comes down to
i should’ve said hello.
to you tonight.

i hold on to him
like he is my one last string
and maybe it was the truth
but then, i may have given anything
your eyes are so blue
i just wanted to let them touch me.
and maybe if you tried i’d let you.

when i close my eyes
i can see you
i can see you
these are the moments i hold on to
if i’d have said hello,
maybe you wouldn’t have said no
i shouldn’t have to be alone tonight

remember that one night
we were so close
my ear was pressed against your cheek
i wanted my lips pressed against yours
but i thought otherwise
love sounds like slamming doors.

this is what it comes down to.
i should’ve said hello
to you tonight.

i shouldn’t have to be alone tonight.
