What Could've Been
I fell in love with what could've been
I didn't know it at the time
But all the dreams we had together
They weren't yours, they were mine
You kept smiling at me sweetly
Playing along cause you knew you could
And you knew you could give me what I wanted
You just didn't know if you would
That's the problem with what could've been
It never ends up being what is
Wearing rose coloured glasses on my eyes
So when he breaks my heart I won't act surprised
Cause I didn't fall in love with him
I fell in love with what could've been
What could've been
Oh, what could've been
Tell me why I keep hearing things
Things I'm trying not to believe
Cause they're messing with the picture
I painted in my mind of you and me
And that's the problem with what could've been
It never ends up being what is
Wearing rose coloured glasses on my eyes
So when he breaks my heart I won't act surprised
Cause I didn't fall in love with him
I fell in love with what could've been
What could've been
Oh, what could've been
My imagination's running off again
Planting scenarios in my head
Of happily ever after
Telling myself if I get this right
Maybe it'll be what I've been searching for
My whole life
That's the problem with what could've been
It never ends up being what is
Wearing rose coloured glasses on my eyes
So when he breaks my heart I won't act surprised
Cause I didn't fall in love with him
I fell in love with what could've been
What could've been
Oh, what could've been
I didn't know it at the time
But all the dreams we had together
They weren't yours, they were mine
You kept smiling at me sweetly
Playing along cause you knew you could
And you knew you could give me what I wanted
You just didn't know if you would
That's the problem with what could've been
It never ends up being what is
Wearing rose coloured glasses on my eyes
So when he breaks my heart I won't act surprised
Cause I didn't fall in love with him
I fell in love with what could've been
What could've been
Oh, what could've been
Tell me why I keep hearing things
Things I'm trying not to believe
Cause they're messing with the picture
I painted in my mind of you and me
And that's the problem with what could've been
It never ends up being what is
Wearing rose coloured glasses on my eyes
So when he breaks my heart I won't act surprised
Cause I didn't fall in love with him
I fell in love with what could've been
What could've been
Oh, what could've been
My imagination's running off again
Planting scenarios in my head
Of happily ever after
Telling myself if I get this right
Maybe it'll be what I've been searching for
My whole life
That's the problem with what could've been
It never ends up being what is
Wearing rose coloured glasses on my eyes
So when he breaks my heart I won't act surprised
Cause I didn't fall in love with him
I fell in love with what could've been
What could've been
Oh, what could've been
