Song Description

Looking back at a missed chance at love with a person you now regret.

Lyrics

Take This Rose 'cause
it isn't my fault
that I should give a rose this way

I stand transfixed at the chance I missed
But wonder what the difference would have made..

Our lives have changed as the years go by but how I hurt to change mine now

And while I can't go back to change all that
I need to share with you now;

That all I know are fantasies and reasons for the pain
and rules that state forget you for reasons I disdain;

I should have taken chances and let what come what may to
get these questions answered and get back on my way;
(But)

Please don't misinterpret what I'm tryin' to say its
just we never had the time

To have or hold or let our lives unfold our boundaries
were too defined;

The things I feel I've just never expressed though
now I find it hard to try

Because I stand transfixed
at the chance I missed
depressed and realize -

That all I have are fantasies
and reasons for the pain and
rules that state forget you
for reasons I disdain -

I should have taken chances
and let what come what may
to get these questions answered;
to get back on my way -

So Take This Rose
'cause it isn't my fault
that I should give a rose this way

I stand transfixed at the chance I missed
but wonder what the difference would have made...

Our lives have changed as the years go by but how I hurt to change mine now..

And while I can't go back to change all that I need to share with you now

I love you
I love you
