She comes to cheer me up and tells me where she's been
I find it hard to fake a smile
I have a photograph where she looks right at me
She hasn't done that for a while

I ask her what went wrong and what was left unsaid
"You kept your heart on ice and thoughts up in your head"
Why tell me now I'm gone?
Can't you see I'm moving on?

You had your chance
And now it's only a memory
You made your bed
It was only a matter of time
You had your chance
All while you were waiting and asking God to let you life begin

He tried to call me up to share his hopes and dreams
But I just never had the time
I thought this wall I built would keep you safe from me
But you were always on my side

I've been so hard to find and harder to believe
But now I've come to wear my heart upon my sleeve
So you finally changed your mind
Well, maybe I've changed made

You had your chance
And now it's only a memory
You made your bed
It was only a matter of time
You had your chance
All while you were waiting and asking God to let you life begin

And when we pass away and fill the scales of right and wrong
I will have nothing to declare
I beg to fill my life of emptiness and start again
My holy angel will decline
She says

You had your chance
And now it's only a memory
You made your bed
It was only a matter of time
You had your chance
All while you were waiting and asking God to let you life begin
