[Verse 1]
Does she feel the energy the way that I do?
In the air whenever we get in the same room?
'Cause I don't know how to read her mind
And I don't wanna cross the line
Does she know I'm thinking 'bout her plenty?
Overthinking if she'd even let me
Move in close enough to hear me say

[Pre-Chorus]
That I don't wanna go home and leave as just friends
But I keep letting her go, and then it just ends

[Chorus]
I was a no, never maybe
I knew she'd never take a chance on me
How did it go? We'll never see
I knew she'd never take a chance on me
I didn't know no better
I wouldn't let myself believe
No, we'll never see
'Cause I never let her take a chance, let her take a chance on me

[Verse 2]
Tell me, tell me, tell me where you are now
I could show up in the middle of the night to
Try to make up for the time we lost
Try to put a little love on us
'Cause I know I still think about her plenty
If I found the confidence, yeah, would she let me?
Or does it always have to be this way?
[Pre Chorus]
It's caught inside of my mind, what we could have been
But I keep letting her go, and then it just ends

[Chorus]
I was a no, never maybe
I knew she'd never take a chance on me
How did it go? We'll never see
I knew she'd never take a chance on me
I didn't know no better
I wouldn't let myself believe
No, we'll never see
'Cause I never let her take a chance, let her take a chance on me

[Post-Chorus]
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

[Bridge]
Now that she's gone, gone, gone
And now that it's done, done, done
I should've known that I was better
If I gave us a chance, we'd be together

[Chorus]
I was a no, never maybe
I knew she'd never take a chance on me
How did it go? We'll never see
I knew she'd never take a chance on me
I didn't know no better
I wouldn't let myself believe (Didn't know better)
No, we'll never see
'Cause I never let her take a chance, let her take a chance on me
I didn't know no better
I wouldn't let myself believe that we'll never see
'Cause I never let her take a chance, let her take a chance on me
[Outro]
(Never see, chance on me)
