Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
I close my eyes and see you lyin' in my bed
And I still dream of that day
[Verse 3]
What could have been love
Should've 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 bein' free
What could have been love will never be
[Verse 4]
An old friend who told me that you found somebody new
Oh, you're finally movin' 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 holdin' on, yeah
[Verse 5]
What could have been love
Should've 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 bein' free
What could have been love will never be
[Verse 6]
We've gone our separate ways, say goodbye to another day
I still wonder where you're at or are you too far from turnin' back?
You were slippin' through my hands, I didn't understand
[Verse 7]
What could have been love
Should've 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 bein' free
What could have been love will never be
What could have been love will never be
[Verse 8]
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
