"Could've Been" lyrics

We both grew up in the same town
Running with the same crowd
I knew you, you knew me
But we never really hung out
We could've watched our kids play
We could've gone on double dates
If I called you, or you called me
But now its too late

We could've been friends swapping stories
Drinking time away
We could've been friends and I'm sorry
That things didn't go that way
And now I've got a lifetime to think
Of all the things I should've said
Or what I could've done back then
We could've been friends

We both listened to the same lies
We both hear it from the inside
It hurts you like it hurts me
We both felt it at the same time
We could've gone the same way
We could've had the same fate
Wish I helped you, like you helped me
But now its too late

We could've been friends swapping stories
Drinking time away
We could've been friends and I'm sorry
That things didn't go that way
And now I've got a lifetime to think
Of all the things I should've said
Or what I could've done back then
We could've been friends

Now I hope you're okay
No longer in this grey space
Because of you, I'm saving me
It's never too late

We could've been friends swapping stories
Drinking time away
We could've been friends and I'm sorry
That things didn't go that way
And now I've got a lifetime to think
Of all the things I should've said
Or what I could've done back then
We could've been friends
