Acceptance Speech

The damage has been done

And I can’t make you stay

But all I’m asking is for 30 seconds on the clock

To talk before you walk away

‘Cause as the strings swell in

It’s clear to me what could have been

If I was ready when you were

Here’s my acceptance speech

Wish that I lived up to what you thought I’d be

‘Cause now you’re moving on

We’re past the point of no return

But I accept the point I’ve had to learn

I tried to win and lost it all

Now you’re a hostile crowd

And I’ve got nothing written down

I’m just fighting back the rage

Knowing I’m nothing to you now

And I don’t know what to do

‘Cause it’s so hard to face the truth

Start to explain

But you stop me before I can get through

And you let the strings swell in

Don’t want to know what could have been

If I was ready when you were

But please hear my acceptance speech

I wish that I lived up to what you thought I’d be

Now you’re already gone

You watch me from out in the crowd

And laugh as the results are read aloud

That I’m the biggest loser of them all

‘Cause I don’t have you, I don’t have you

And there’s nothing left to do

So hard to let go

So hard but I know

We’re past the point of no return

But I accept the point I’ve had to learn

I wanted more and lost it all

‘Cause I don’t have you

I don’t have you

I don’t have you
