"We Could Have It All" lyrics

"We Could Have It All"

There were no black cats in our path
I've been side-stepping cracks in the pavement
Everybody thought we would be the ones to have it all
I could be the one, we could be the ones to have it

First envy, then comes shame, then secrets, and then blame
The quiet resignation on your face
You've spoken all your truths, you're shaken and you're bruised
There's nothing left to prove

Always, always, we could be
What you promised me
So close, so close, weren't we?
We almost had it
Always, always, you can get what you want
But not what you need
Someday, someday, you and me

We could have it all (We could have it all, we could have it all)
We could have it all (We could have it all, we could have it all)
We could have it all (We could have it all, we could have it all)
We could have it all (We could have it all, we could have it all)

There were no second thoughts in my head
There were no monsters underneath our bed
Everybody thought we would be the ones to have it all
We could've been the ones, I should've been the one to have it

First envy, then comes shame, then secrets, and then blame
The quiet resignation on your face
You've spoken all your truths, you're shaken and you're bruised
There's nothing left to prove

Always, always, we could be
What you promised me
So close, so close, weren't we?
We almost had it
Always, always, you can get what you want
But not what you need
Someday, someday, you and me

We could have it all (We could have it all, we could have it all)
We could have it all (We could have it all, we could have it all)
We could have it all (We could have it all, we could have it all)
We could have it all (We could have it all, we could have it all)

We got nothing left to lose
We got nothing left to prove
You and I know the truth
There was nothing else that we could do

Always, always, we could be
What you promised me
So close, so close, weren't we?
We almost had it
Always, always, you can get what you want
But not what you need
Someday, someday, you and me

We could have it all (We could have it all, we could have it all)
We could have it all (We could have it all, we could have it all)
We could have it all (We could have it all, we could have it all)
We could have it all (We could have it all, we could have it all)
We could have it all (We could have it all, we could have it all)
We could have it all (We could have it all, we could have it all)
We could have it all (We could have it all, we could have it all)
We could have it all (We could have it all, we could have it all)
