A Chance I'd Never Have
None Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Guess there′s nothing to do
And nothing to say,
But simply go on my way
And call it a day.
I guess I'm ready to go
Right back on the shelf,
Because at last I′ve learned
Where you're concerned,
I've just been fooling myself.
I never had a chance,
I thought you cared for me,
But now I see I never had a chance.
I never had a chance.
Though you never told me so,
Somehow I know I never had a chance.
I knew we′d have to part,
For I could always reach your lips
But I could never reach your heart.
My dream about romance
Ended in a friendly chat.
But more than that,
I never had a chance.
I never had a chance,
I thought you cared for me,
But now I see I never had a chance.
I never had a chance.
Though you never told me so,
Somehow I know I never had a chance.
I knew we′d have to part,
For I could always reach your lips
But I could never reach your heart.
My dream about romance
Ended in a friendly chat.




But more than that,
I never had a chance.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "A Chance I'd Never Have" convey a heartfelt sense of disappointment and resignation. The singer reflects on a past relationship and realizes that they were never meant to be together. The opening lines of the song, "Guess there's nothing to do, and nothing to say, But simply go on my way and call it a day" set the melancholic tone for the rest of the song. The singer has come to terms with the fact that they cannot change the outcome of the relationship and must accept it for what it is.


The chorus, "I never had a chance, I thought you cared for me, But now I see I never had a chance", echoes this sentiment. The singer had been holding onto the belief that their love was reciprocated, but this illusion is shattered. The line "For I could always reach your lips, But I could never reach your heart" emphasizes the distance between the two individuals on an emotional level, implying that their physical intimacy was not enough to sustain a deeper connection.


Despite the disappointment, the singer acknowledges that their dream about romance was not entirely in vain. The line "Ended in a friendly chat. But more than that, I never had a chance" suggests that their time together was still meaningful in its own way, even if it did not lead to a romantic relationship.


Overall, "A Chance I'd Never Have" is a poignant reflection on unrequited love and coming to terms with the end of a relationship.
