“I guess it’s been five years”, you said a warm smile on your face
When I saw you up on High St yesterday
“My god you’re right, how are you?” I answered back so casually
Though I know it’s four years, seven months, ten days
“You’re looking well” I tell you and you tell me bout the new girl
And that job you had in Sydney last year
You run your fingers through your hair, I’m listening trying not to stare
And remember how your kisses made me weak

Oh the love I never showed you
Is my greatest lesson learned
I never took the chance to get my fingers burned

I used to hold my breath and lay beside you in the night
As if I knew I’d fuck it up were I to move
Something so exquisite in the feeling of not knowing
If tomorrow would still let me close to you
And though the words would linger on my tongue in certain moments
I thought “keep it cool, be casual, be free”
I always knew I wanted you I guess I knew you’d want me too
But somehow I had freed you far from me

Oh the love I never showed you
Is my greatest lesson learned
I never took the chance to get my fingers burned

You kissed my cheek and smiled and then you walked the other way
And we lied and said let’s coffee in two weeks
As I watched you leave I saw your figure fade amongst the crowd
And loneliness washed heavy over me

Oh the love I never showed you
Is my greatest lesson learned
I never took the chance to get my fingers burned
