[Verse 1]
Feel the rain as it falls
Wipe the tears from your face
Feel the sun kiss your skin
Like a love so far away
[Pre-Chorus]
You let him get his way
You carried all his pain
Can't waste another day
Waiting to be loved
[Chorus]
Don't let this moment pass you by
One day your heart might lose its mind
You're scared you don't deserve to smile
Don't let this moment pass you by
[Verse 2]
You were young, he was cold
Stole the light from your eyes
You've been tryna let go of him
But he's there, the thorn in your side
[Pre-Chorus]
You let him get his way
You carried all his pain
Can't waste another day
Waiting to be loved
[Chorus]
Don't let this moment pass you by
One day your heart might lose its mind
You're scared you don't deserve to smile
Don't let this moment pass you by
[Bridge]
You've earned the right to know yourself
And you've earned the right to love yourself, oh
[Chorus]
Don't let this moment pass you by
One day your heart might lose its mind
You're scared you don't deserve to smile
Don't let this moment pass you by
Pass you by, pass you by, pass you by
