Hope or Hurt

I saw you across the street

Toyed with the idea of saying hello

I thought twice

Didn't want to roll that dice

It always ends with the same choice

Hope or hurt

Hope or hurt

Hope or hurt

But boy do you look good

Time and distance really suits

It lends a glow

Felt you plucking on my heart strings

Felt bravado in my veins

I could conjure up a winning smile

And melt your heart again

I wanted to spin

Hope or hurt

Hope or hurt

Hope or hurt

You've got to be in to win it

But the stakes are so very high

It's a long way down when your falling

After reaching for the sky

I had my chance

I Let you slip away

Certainly didn't do enough to make you want to stay

And play

Hope or Hurt

Hope or hurt

Hope or hurt

Hope or hurt
