Twisted Prophecy

[Verse 1] We were young, just kids in school, You were my friend, my golden rule. Playing games, laughing loud, Never thought I'd feel so proud. [Pre-Chorus] Innocent days, nothing to fear, Just you and me, year after year. But something changed, deep inside, A feeling I could never hide. [Chorus] Oh, how the years went by, You became my heart's soft cry. But fear and doubt clouded my view, A twisted prophecy, I lost you. [Verse 2] We'd talk for hours, about our dreams, Sharing secrets, or so it seemed. Didn't notice, didn’t care, Till I saw love was in the air. [Pre-Chorus] A stolen glance, a shy smile, I felt my heart race all the while. But scared to speak, scared to show, The love I felt, you’d never know. [Chorus] Oh, how the years went by, You became my heart's soft cry. But fear and doubt clouded my view, A twisted prophecy, I lost you. [Bridge] I watched you from afar, With someone else beneath the stars. And in that moment, I realized, I’d lost my chance, tears filled my eyes. [Verse 3] Now you're gone, out of sight, Memories linger in the night. Wishing I could turn back time, To hold your hand, to make you mine. [Pre-Chorus] But scared to lose, I never tried, To share the love I felt inside. A twisted fate, a prophecy, My own fear took you from me. [Chorus] Oh, how the years went by, You became my heart's soft cry. But fear and doubt clouded my view, A twisted prophecy, I lost you. [Outro] So here I sit, all alone, With memories of a love not shown. In the silence, I can see, The twisted prophecy that set you free.
