Right Girl, Wrong Time

You had all of the love I was unable to express
I pushed you away, because depression had control of my mind
I was unable to give you the feelings I wanted to share
Sometimes we meet the right girl at the wrong time

I treasured you but I was unable to open the chest
I wanted to build with you, but I didn't want to offer what I had left
I was battling demons that wouldn't let me have love
You offered me your hand, but I had a bad touch

When depression is standing in front of you, it's hard to see
Someone as beautiful as you shouldn't want someone as scarred as me
I've thought about you daily, so I can't even say my heart is free
I put the pain in my poetry and make it a work of art to see

You kept all of the secrets that I never told you
But if I couldn't hold my own thoughts how could I hold you
I couldn't let my dream girl get me out of my nightmare
I pushed you away because I was scared of how much I wanted you right there

It's been almost 5 years, And it's something I've been struggling with
You're the one i'll Hold dearly even if you're not who I'm cuddling with
I found the girl of my dreams just as I lost my way
I guess I just have to accept you're the one who got away

You had all of the love I was unable to express
I pushed you away, because depression had control of my mind
I was unable to give you the feelings I wanted to share
Sometimes we meet the right girl at the wrong time
