nothing ventured, nothing gained

and when i saw you last night
you saw me for the first time
then you saw the door
a short walk across the floor

you were looking for a way
to avoid that awkward glance
but i always found the pain
since you never looked back again

and you always cast a shadow
but i never tried to hide
no matter how it always seemed
oh hell, i guess i always dreamed

what had i ever said, i wondered
what could i ever do
there never was an easy way of knowing
which way you planned on going

and i don't know why i needed you
when you found it hard to say
just call me back tomorrow or some other day

it wouldn't help to know i really pained
well, brush it off
nothing ventured, nothing gained
