“Mistake”

One more opportunity
Is all I desperately want
At that piece of happiness
That was impossible to grasp

The stroke of genius
Let me down again
And all of my desire
Can’t take away this suffering

Many times I had the chance
But through my fingers it slipped
And happiness I could’ve gripped
If only pride I could put away

A forlorn coward
Afraid to ask, afraid to tell
For missing my chance
From paradise I fell
