Liner Notes

Nice prompt! So many possibilities for inaction...

Lyrics

I should have pressed send
I backed out in the end
I should have pressed send
Now we’re still just friends

I gathered all my thoughts
All my feelings true
I was going to send them in a mail to you
I just couldn’t do it in the end
I just couldn’t press send

I hesitated once again
Like I was trying to fight the wind
I know I should have pressed send
But I didn’t and that was where it ended

You told me of your new love
I had to pretend to care
I had thoughts of rings and boxing gloves
It should have been me there
But I didn’t press send

A reminder of things left unsaid (or typed lol!). Pretty melody and touching story.

I didn't press send as a chance lost for love. Great melody and heart-tugging lyric. Good stuff!

Unrequited love and fighting the winds of uncertainty. Was this a shy boxer hiding his feelings? Great skirmish, Gordon!
