I know there are ways that I could reach you
People who could tell me where you are
But I would rather keep you like a secret
And hide you in a corner of my heart
As if you would be there if I should need you
An ace that I’ve been keeping to myself
Like a song I’ve left half finished
That always sounds like nothing else
You are my heart’s masterpiece
The one that got away, the one I never play
You are my heart’s masterpiece
And now the chance is gone; you don’t get more than one
Masterpiece
I’ve seen the way some people treat each other
It almost makes me glad you didn’t stay
I’d rather be without you for a lifetime
Than ever see you look at me that way
I’d rather keep you shining like a beacon
Like sunlight streaming from the other side
Of a door I’ve left half open
I couldn’t close now if I tried
You are my heart’s masterpiece
The best I could have done, the one I’ve never sung
You are my heart’s masterpiece
And once the chance is gone, you don’t get more than one
Masterpiece
And the chances of us meeting are as distant as the miles
But still I seem to see you in every stranger walking by
You’re there in every turn I’ve ever taken
You’ve haunted every place I’ve ever been
Like the whisper of a rumour
Like the echo of a dream
You are my heart’s masterpiece
The one that got away, the one I never play
You are my heart’s masterpiece
And once the chance is gone, you don’t get more than one
Masterpiece
