No Second Glance Lyrics

I've been quick to love, no second glance,

Leaping blind into a fleeting chance.

Saw the spark in eyes that couldn't stay,

Chasing shadows that slipped away.

I loved the dream, not the man I'd see,

The hope of what he could one day be.

But I've waited too long for hearts to grow,

And lost myself in the afterglow.

I've worn my faith like a fragile crown,

Building castles that came crashing down.

Believed in greatness where none was near,

Stayed too long, clinging to the idea.

I loved the dream, not the man I'd see,

The hope of what he could one day be.

But I've waited too long for hearts to grow,

And lost myself in the afterglow.

Oh, the price of hope, it weighs so much,

Lifting love that crumbles to dust.

I see now that the heart I need,

Must beat in truth, not in my dreams.

I'll love no longer for potential's sake,

For the promises I cannot make.

I'll seek a soul who's already whole,

To match my heart and make me whole.
