lyrics

MISSED OPPORTUNITY
Don't make me do the things that you want me to do
like going out dancing and listening to
all your songs about somebody new.

A crossword game you play while you're shuffling names
I'm the answer to questions you wanted to say
eight letters across for true love.

CHORUS:
Don't wanna be the girl on the side waiting for her goodbye
holding out hope that you'll finally find
I'm the one that you need by until you see
I won't wait till you fall for me
So call me a missed opportunity.

Our friendship to the test, a broken ego at best
but I'd rather hang on to whatever is left of my pride
if it means goodbye

You know I can't refuse things you want me to do
oh, I'd be hangin' on by a string if I could
so I'll walk away 'til some other day.

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
And it'll break my heart for sure
I'm supposed to be yours
'cause I saw it in a dream last night.

CHORUS
