You've just lost one, my dear
Can't you see the cost is clear?
It's a loss that cuts so deep
Leaves a scar you'll always keep
One chance, one shot, one time
But you couldn't see the sign
You let it slip right through your hands
Now you're left with broken strands
Of what could have been, what should have been
But now it's all gone, never to begin
You had it all, right in your grasp
But you let it go, and now it's passed
You've just lost one, my dear
And it's a loss you'll always fear
It's a feeling that eats away inside
A wound that you can never hide
You've just lost one, my love
And it fits like a hand in glove
It's a void that can't be filled
A longing that can't be stilled
You had the chance to make it right
But you chose to go and start a fight
You couldn't see past your selfish ways
And now you're left with endless days
Of regret and sorrow, pain and grief
You've lost something beyond belief
You'll never find it again, my dear
For you've just lost one, that much is clear
You've just lost one, my sweet
And it's a loss that you'll always keep
A reminder of what you let slip away
A reminder of your careless play
You've just lost one, my heart
And it's torn my world apart
But I'll move on, I'll survive
For I know I deserve more than your lies
You had the chance to hold on tight
But you let it go without a fight
And now you'll see what you could've had
But it's too late, the damage is done and sad
You've just lost one, my dear
And it's a loss you'll always fear
You'll see it in the stars at night
And feel it in the morning light
You've just lost one, my love
And it's a loss you can't rise above
It's a weight that you'll always bear
A pain that you'll always share
You've just lost one, my dear
And it's a loss you'll always hold near
For it's a reminder of your mistakes
A lesson learned, but far too late
You had one chance, one shot, one time
But you couldn't see the warning signs
You let it slip right through your hands
And now you're left with broken strands
Of what could have been, what should have been
But now it's all gone, never to begin
You've just lost one, my dear
And it's a loss that you'll always fear.
