Maybe the cards weren’t played right
and maybe even stacked against us.
Maybe we weren’t meant to be
and gold dust in the end is still dust.
Maybe the distance is too much for a leap of faith
and in our own hearts we lacked trust.
Maybe it would just be a bad ending we didn’t want to see
but also maybe I’d have wanted to be with you even at the dusk.
