He's gone

You've lost

Stay behind

and count the cost

You try

You lose

You don't fall in love by chance

You choose



It's a decision

made over time

Should you take a risk

and start to climb

the steepest hill

only to find

halfway there

you've been left behind?



Choosing to love

is risking a lot

and trying to change

and to give all you've got

But don't pretend

it comes out of the blue

You take a chance

and see it through

and if it's refused

what can you do?

Continue hopefully?

Start anew?



Lick your wounds

Buy your booze

You won't get drunk by accident

You'll choose

Don't blame him

for refusing your bid

He didn't decide to love

You did



Learn the lesson

Take the blows

You didn't fall in love by chance

You chose

Play the sad songs

Sing the blues

You don't fall in love by chance

You choose
