"You Could've Loved Me" lyrics

You could've loved me
But I did it all wrong
Running around, taking my time
Taking too long
You were an anchor
I was wild and free
But you could've loved me

Now it's crazy to see you
Wearing that ring
We could've been young and dumb
And reckless
Could've been everything
You had your reasons
I had my dreams
But you could've loved me

Sometimes love falls in your hands
Sometimes love has other plans
Sometimes good good things
Just get away from us
I'd be lying if I said
I didn't have any regrets
I just know it has
To be this way because
I'm still exactly who I was
But you could've loved me

If it happened just right
But we rise and we fall
And we can't win 'em all
'Cause that's just life
It ain't like the stories
You see in the movies
But you could've loved me

Sometimes love falls in your hands
Sometimes love has other plans
Sometimes good good things
Just get away from us
I'd be lying if I said
I didn't have any regrets
I just know it has
To be this way because
I'm still exactly who I was
But you could've loved me

If I could've stayed
But the world kept
Pulling me outta this town
And it's better that way
'Cause I'm still a dreamer
Wild and free
But you could've loved me
