Songtext Could have been Eric Benet

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 soon?
But there I go,
Looking back once more
It's the hardest thing to know that I,

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.
hmmm...
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 heart in me.
Though I write these words,
I know I'll carry on.
But I love you still,
Probably always will,
Nothing can ever be so beautiful as we...
could have been
If only love had led 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...
Ohhh... 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
Ohhhh... what we could have been, baby
Ohhh... 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...
Ohhh no...
Never again...
And to never know just what we
could have been...
