What Could Have Been



It seems like only yesterday when we decided to go our separate ways
In truth, it has been years but I still think about you most days
I hear that you’re doing well in your new life you have created
Could I have given you more, that could be debated

I wonder if you think of me when you hear someone of the same name
Sometimes wish I could go back to the beginning and start this game again
Things were different way back then we were young and wanted different things
I remember one night we sat underneath the stars and I told you everything

I sill remember the drive home that wet and windy night
Your favourite song playing on the radio, the timing wasn’t quite right
I said that’s it, it’s over, as tears began to fall
You didn’t say anything but your silent reply without question said it all

You walked up to your door and didn’t look back
The once bright blue sky above had suddenly turned black
The drive home for me horrendous, the rain kept pouring down
Remembering how I made you laugh and now I have tears of a clown

Bridge
I often think what it would have been like if our paths had crossed again
Maybe the sun would have shone once more instead of this thunderous rain

Chorus
It could have been me
Making you happy all these years
It should have been me
Holding your hand through all your fears
It could have been me
Waiting for you as you walked down the aisle
It should have been me
I’ve lived with these feelings for a while

It should have been me

Moving On


I’m tired of telling people I’m happy with what I have
But one thing is missing
There is one thing I haven’t got
I know exactly what it is
But don’t know who
I only know that once
I thought it was you

But then you hurt me with your lies
You told me what I wanted to hear
You don’t talk to me for weeks
Only call when it’s something you need
I wanted more from you
I thought I’d planted the seed

You played with my mind
Making me question my heart
Keeping me awake night after night
I don’t know if you knew what you were doing
I don’t know if you cared
But the feelings you left behind
Had me running scared

Every night the darkness falls
You are the light in my head
Analysing everything you did
Analysing everything you said
I’ve tried to ignore you
I’ve tried to let go
But something keeps dragging me back towards you

A wave of emotion
A fight between my angel and devil
Every night a different winner
How can I stop this hurting
This hurting deep inside
Seeing you with other men
Makes my emotions collide

Bridge
Is it time to say goodbye
Is it time to move on?
You only realise what’s good for you when it’s finally gone

Chorus
So I’ll say my final goodbye
Wish you luck on your journey
Hoping that you’ll meet the guy
I simply couldn’t be
He’ll be your prince in shining armour

And give you the life that you see
