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 still dream 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 You're finally moving on You think that I'd be over you after all these years But time is proving wrong 'Cause I'm still holding on
What could have been love Should have been the only thing It 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
And we go on our separate ways I say goodbye to another way I still wonder where you are Or are you too far from talking back? You were slipping through my hands And I didn't understand
What could have been love Should have been the only thing It 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
