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
