about

After performing on national TV in Taiwan, Kim was trolled online and retreated from the limelight. Years later, Kim received a letter from an adoring fan encouraging her to ignore detractors and embrace her talent. Missed Chance is the deeply personal response to that letter.

lyrics

Missed Chance

How are you my darling?
I wish I could hear from you again.
It's been years since you wrote.
I hope this is not the end, not the end.

Your words touched me deep
You brought light to my darkness
You told me I inspired you, you told me not to give up.
Your strength brings hope to my world.

I missed the chance to know you.
I missed the chance to thank you.
I missed the chance to repay you for your words.
That's why I wrote this song for you.

Your mother helped you write the letter.
She said my voice eased your pain.
You lay in the hospital bed, humming with my songs
You smiled despite the poison in your veins.

I missed the chance to know you.
I missed the chance to thank you.
I missed the chance to repay you for your words.
That's why I wrote this song for you.

Keep smiling and keep singing
Don't be afraid, you are not alone, not alone.
Keep smiling and keep singing
Don't be afraid, you are not alone, not alone.

I missed the chance to know you.
I missed the chance to thank you.
I missed the chance to repay you for your words.
That's why I wrote this song for you.
That's why I wrote this song for you.
But when I wrote back you're already gone
When I wrote back you're already gone.
