We Could Have Been

Tell me who's to blame
I thought that we were on our way
I never dreamed in all my life
That love could feel that way
Did we move too slow or was it just too son?
But there I go
Looking back once more
Like a fool I still imagine
What we could have been
Could it be we had a chance,
If we just tried again?
It's the hardest thing to face
It's like never knowing how the story ever ends
And I'll never know just what we could have been

So I'll just say it's meant to be
And this is fate and destiny
But tell me how do I explain,
This empty part in me?
Though I rate these words
I know I'll carry on
But I love you still
Probably always will
Nothing could ever be so beautiful
As we could have been
If only love had let you back into my arms again
It's the hardest thing to know
That I will never love again like we did then
And to never know just what we could have been

There may be another chance
In some other space or time
Some other circumstance
But would it feel the same?
Oh how wonderful this world would be
To face it with you here with me
Only heaven knows, maybe there we'll see
Oh, what we could have been
Could it be there was a chance,
If we just tried again?
It's the hardest thing
It's like never knowing how the story's going to end
And we'll never know just what we, oh, what we could have been, baby
Oh, if love could have led back to my arms again
It's the hardest thing to know
That I will never love again like we did then
Oh no, never again
And to never know just what we could have been
Oh...
