Could Have Been You letra

Oh, it's a shame
We used to be so tight
Tell me what's your gain
Since you left me outside

I'm gonna change my track
Go anywhere but back
When I think about it
I'm better off without it

There is no gain, only pain
And my heart can't take the strain
I can't sit on the shelf
I'll give my love to someone else

If you see me walking by
Hand in hand with another guy
Know that it's true
It could've been you

If you'd only treated me right
Out of sight, baby, out of mind
That's what you do
It could've been you

Don't wanna wait
For what you promised me
Like a train delayed
Forever, so it seemed

I'm gonna change my track
Go anywhere but back
When I think about it
I'm better off without it

There's no gain, only pain
And my heart can't take the strain
I can't sit on the shelf
I'll give my love to someone else

If you see me walking by
Hand in hand with another guy
Know that it's true
It could've been you

If you'd only treated me right
Out of sight, baby, out of mind
That's what you do
It could've been you

You could've been
My first, my last, forever
You held it in your hands
My heart, my treasure

The proof is in the memories
So sad to know that's all
That's left for you is
What could have been

If you see me walking by
Hand in hand with another guy
Know that it's true
It could've been you

If you'd only treated me right
Out of sight, baby, out of mind
That's what you do
It could've been you

If you see me walking by
Hand in hand with another guy
Know that it's true
It could've been you

If you'd only treated me right
Out of sight, baby, out of mind
That's what you do
It could've been you

If you see me walking by
Hand in hand with another guy
Know that it's true
It could've been you

If you'd only treated me right
Out of sight, baby, out of mind
That's what you do
It could've been you

If you see me walking by
Hand in hand with another guy
Know that it's true
It could've been you

If you'd only treated me right
Out of sight, baby, out of mind
That's what you do
It could've been you

It could've been
Some say it should've been you
Forget you, baby
