What Could've Been
Woke in the middle of the night to the sound of pouring rain
And the aggressive winds gently whisper your name
And I�m sitting here while you�re fast asleep
On an old shirt in the corner
Trying to write the right words down
Everytime I close my eyes
There ain�t no prayers or kiss goodnight
So what I forget to say tomorrow I�ll say now
I can�t seem to stop thinking about you at all
I called you up to come round so many times
Yet you wouldn�t give a straight answer
Even though I�m afraid you�re going to leave with him
It seems that it�s only my visions of love
So infinitely deep
Is the only thing able to show me what a crimson joy is really like
Thy heart is only for what I fought
Even though my chances seem at nought
When I talk to you thy heart feels so jocund
Yet when it ends I feel so abandoned
And as you leave into a world fit for you
Where joy is a cup of tea drank in your every morning
I retreat to mines
Where only regret and heartache is the only thing that is dawning
All mylife I�ve been searching for the sun
Now like a thief in the night I�ve got nowhere to run
As I close my eyes I start to cry for you
Yet you�re the reason why I have to say goodbye to you
And this pain I have inside makes me want to die for you
But please I hope none of this makes you sad and blue
Cause not even one lonely night would seem right for you
And don�t worry about me
For this lonely heart is what keeps me going strong
It gives me strength when things are going all wrong
For you to really understand what�s really going on
Just think , I woke up the other morning thinking of you and all the hurt was gone
Do you think that what little we have and know deserves a second chance
I can�t even figure out how I fell into this circumstance
I don�t know what to think or what to feel
So I�ll just here on my stairs cause I�d rather be alone
Seeing I can�t have you right now , I�ll wait here
I must admit , I sometimes get so tense
Cause I can�t speed up the time
But there�s one more thing I want you to consider through it all
I�ve been walking the streets at night
Just trying to get it right
It�s hard to see with so many around
And it feels like I�m stuck in this town
And although the streets show change for tomorrow
The pain keeps reminding me of yesterday
Now as I turn my head away from what could�ve been
Just know that I�d always think that we�d make it
And I�d never fake any of it
Nor would I have broken it
Cause I won�t be able to take it
And remember as I walk away
I�ll shed a tear cause I�m missing
But I�m still alright to smile
Too bad for me I have to do what it is you always wanted
To say goodbye
