What Could Have Been Love
I wake up and wonder how everything went wrong
Am I the one to blame?
I gave up and left you for a nowhere-bound train
Now that train has come and gone
I close my eyes and see you
Lying in my bed
And I’m still
Dreaming of that day
What could have been love
Should have been the only thing that was ever meant to be
Didn’t know, couldn’t see what was right in front of me
And now that I’m alone
All I have is emptiness that comes from being free
What could have been love will never be
An old friend who told me that you found somebody new
Oh, you’re finally moving on
Oh, you think that I’d be over you after all these years
Yeah, but time has proved me wrong
‘Cause I’m still holding on, yeah, yeah
What could have been love
Should have been the only thing that was ever meant to be
Didn’t know, couldn’t see what was right in front of me
(What could have been love) and now that I’m alone
All I have is emptiness that comes from being free
What could have been love will never be
We’ve gone our separate ways
Say goodbye to another day
I still wonder where you are
Are you too far from turning back?
You were slipping through my hands and I didn’t understand
What could have been love
Should have been the only thing that was ever meant to be
Didn’t know, couldn’t see what was right in front of me
(What could have been love) and now that I’m alone
All I have is emptiness that comes from being free
What could have been love will never be
What could have been love will never be
What could have been love
What could have been love
What could have been love
(What could have been, what could have been)
What could have been love
