"What Could've Been" lyrics
"What Could've Been"
I haven't stopped thinking about you
Has it really been this long?
Two years and an ocean between us
And I don't know where it all went wrong
I know I could've kissed you harder
Yeah, you could've followed through
Should've talked a little bit softer
But we meant every I love you
I don't know what this is or what it isn't
But it feels like we've got unfinished business
'Cause we left blood on the tracks, sweat on the saddle
Fire in the hills, a bullet in the barrel
Words never said in a story that didn't end
It's like you're on the mend and I'm on the bottle
We folded our hands with money on the table
Tried moving on, but I keep coming back again
To what could've been
What could've been
Oh, what could've been
A couple more simple I'm sorrys
A little less tryna be right
I wonder how many good mornings
We wasted 'cause we didn't say goodnight
One touch before we fell asleep
Just before our love was out of reach
Could've done enough, could've saved us from this loneliness
We left blood on the tracks, sweat on the saddle
Fire in the hills, a bullet in the barrel
Words never said in a story that didn't end
It's like you're on the mend and I'm on the bottle
We folded our hands with money on the table
Tried moving on, but I keep coming back again
To what could've been
Could've been
Oh, what could've been
I thought I'd see it clearly from a distance
But it still feels like we've got unfinished business
'Cause, baby, we left blood on the tracks, sweat on the saddle
Fire in the hills, a bullet in the barrel
Words never said in a story that didn't end
It's like you're on the mend, I'm on the bottle
We folded our hands with money on the table
Tried moving on, but I keep coming back again
Oh, to what could've been
Oh, what could've been
What could've been, should've been
Do you still wonder, still wonder what could've been?
(What could have been)
(Still wonder)
(What could have been)
(Still wonder)
(What could have been)
