I remember when
We were just children and
We were on the playground
I would watch you from afar
Not really knowing you are
But part of me knew you weren't mine
But I never wanted to say goodbye
I knew you weren't, weren't good for me
But I loved you still the same
We were never meant to be, never meant to be king and queen
And I knew you were never mine to have
But I if I had a chance I'd chose you again
Everytime

I remember when we were teens
My love for you only grew
But I was losing you
To the pretty cheer girl
She had bright blue eyes
Ones that matched the sky
But mine were just a plain plain brown
I always thought we would be the ones wearing crowns
But soon I think she's going to be the one wearing the white gown
I knew you were never mine to have
But I loved you still the same
And if I had a chance I'd chose
Everytime

Then we were adults
No longer partying all night long
She had a ring on
Bright as the sun
Pregnant with a little boy
I still wanted you to be mine
But the time had come where I had to kiss the crush goodbye
Next thing I know I see you with your son
But I just sigh and avoid making contact with your eyes
You walked right past not knowing me and I knew everything was gone
I mumbled goodbye, held back a cry and carried on
The next week came, and you were dead
So was your wife, her on the floor and you on the bed.
I adopted the child as my own
And soon he was fully grown
I told him about you and her
All while feeling so much hurt
I wish I could've done something that day
I wish I would have stopped you from walking away
I knew you were never mine to have
But I loved you still the same
I wish I had chance cause I'd chose you
Everytime
