Could Have Been You

I remember the times, chasing our dreams
Nothing could stop us, or so it would seem
We lit up the dark with the fire we made
Believing forever would never fade

Things changed, you wanted me to walk in shame
I got tired, and I knew it'd never be the same
You walked away, left the fire to fade
And I built my dreams from the ashes we made

It could have been you here by my side
Through every storm, through changing tide
We had the path, I knew the truth
But you threw it away, it could have been you

We had a bond no one understood
Turned every wrong into something good
But you let doubt tear it all apart
Listened to lies instead of your heart

Now I see faces I've never known
But I still think back to all we'd grown
You can't undo what you chose to lose
And now all I can say, it could have been you

It could have been you here by my side
Through every storm, through changing tide
We had the path, I knew the truth
But you threw it away, it could have been you

No hate, no blame, just a story told
Of a dream too fragile to ever hold
I'll sing it loud till the sky turns blue
A melody whispering, it could have been you

It could have been you
It could have been you
But you let it go, it could have been you
