We never really
had the chance to
let each other know
We never really
had the time to
let our feelings show
Small talk kept us
going when the
only words to say
Were how I long
to hold you pride
locked the words away
I never had the
confidence to think
that you could care
I never looked
into your eyes to
see if love was there
I talked it over
with myself and
silently agreed
Your heart was in
a high place
unreachable to me
I waited too long
for a sign from you
reached for a line
That you never threw
small talk and pride
kept us from
getting together
Now there's
never a day you're
not on my mind
Saying the words
we could never find
Small talk and pride
took you from
my life forever
I'll never hold
the cards again
to win a love
so real
I know I'd
gamble everything
but Mistress Fate
won't deal
I just have to be
content to learn
by my mistakes
Our hearts were
just a breath away
now they're far
enough to break
I waited too long
for a sign from you
reached for a line
that you never threw
Small talk and pride
kept us from
getting together
Now there's never a day
you're not on my mind
saying the words
we could never find
Small talk and pride
took you from
my life forever
