The connection we had
Went deep to the core
You were all that I dreamed of
And a little bit more

From the moment I saw you
I was caught in your spell
From the way that I acted
I knew you could tell

I would see your face
Wherever I looked
I was far more than smitten
I was totally hooked

(Chorus)
Thought that I knew you
Turned out I was wrong
Your feelings were fleeting
And I waited too long
Was sure that you loved me
And I felt the same
When you said let’s be friends
I shouldered the blame

Whenever you walked by
Our eyes always locked
Others soon noticed
And started to talk

An office romance
Is such a cliché
But just what we had
I’m not sure of today

We never acted out
On the feelings we shared
But it was clear to each other
How much that we cared

(Chorus)
Thought that I knew you
Turned out I was wrong
Your feelings were fleeting
And I waited too long
Was sure that you loved me
And I felt the same
When you said let’s be friends
I shouldered the blame


Conditions dictated
The pace that I took
For propriety’s sake
I went by the book

With hindsight it’s easy
To see what I’d change
To act with my heart
Instead of my brain

You ended up
Going on with your life
And finding some guy
Then becoming his wife

(Chorus)
Thought that I knew you
Turned out I was wrong
Your feelings were fleeting
And I waited too long
Was sure that you loved me
And I felt the same
When you said let’s be friends
I shouldered the blame


My mind sometimes wanders
Right back to those days
I’ll be haunted by you
Right to my grave

The feelings were stronger
Than any I’ve known
It kills me to think
Of the chance that I’d blown

Those who hesitate
Will always be lost
Act on your feelings
Or suffer the cost

(Chorus)
Thought that I knew you
Turned out I was wrong
Your feelings were fleeting
And I waited too long
Was sure that you loved me
And I felt the same
When you said let’s be friends
I shouldered the blame
