What Could Have Been

It was never black and white, grey spots left colorblind

But we jumped with closed eyes

A small glimpse of a bright light still warms the coldest nights

From deep inside

The core of my bones, they hold a secret now

And guard the gates to keep the darkness out

Wasn't it a great life, if only for a moment?

When you were teachin' me to take flight and build something new

Wasn't it a great life, if only for a moment?

When I got to share it all with you

We can never know if this house could be a home for more

Than a day or two

There's no happy ever after, no silence filled with laughter

Only memories from which we grew

Inside of these bones, they hold a secret now

And guard the gates to keep the darkness out

And my bones, they hold a secret now

And guard the gates to keep the darkness out

Wasn't it a great life, if only for a moment?

When you were teachin' me to take flight and build something new

Wasn't it a great life, if only for a moment?

When I got to share it all with you

It's my happy ever after

To have held a dream so elegant in my heart, in my heart

It's my happy ever after

To have held a dream so delicate in my arms, in my arms, oh, no

Wasn't it a great life, if only for a moment?

When you were teachin' me to take flight and build something new

Wasn't it a great life, if only for a moment?

When I got to share it all with you, no, no, no

Wasn't it a great life, if only for a moment?

When you were teachin' me to take flight and build something new

Wasn't it a great life, if only for a moment?

When I got to share it all with you

Share it all with you, share it all with you
