What Could Be

(album: Vacation Manor - 2021)

Does it scare you to think
Of the things you never said
Or the thoughts that you may never know
Does your heart start to sink as you're lying in your bed
And you dwell on the love left untold

It's a bittersweet reminder of what could be
Do you wonder if you're standing where you should be
As you're coming around, you're still thinking about
The life you left unlived

For the dreams still asleep
For the fires you let burn out
All the time in the world couldn't solve
Were you stuck in between
Did you cave into the doubt
Do we get what we want after all

It's a bittersweet reminder of what could be
Do you wonder if you're standing where you should be
As you sit with the past, you're still trying to grasp
The life you left unlived

Are you still holding hands with the person you won't be
Take your time, say goodbye, could have been
Were you could lead it to chance
Just to follow or to lead
One road starts and another has to end

It's a bittersweet reminder of what could be
Do you wonder if you're standing where you should be
As you're walking away, no longer afraid
Letting go of the way, as you step out afraid
It's all taking shape, just the choices you make
And the life you left unlived
