What Could Have Been Love

I wake up and wonder how everything went wrong
Am I the one to blame?
I gave up and left you for a nowhere-bound train
Now that train has come and gone

I close my eyes and see you lying in my bed
And I still dream of that day

What could have been love
Should have been the only thing that was ever meant to be
Didn't know, couldn't see what was right in front of me
And now that I'm alone
All I have is emptiness that comes from being free
What could have been love will never be

An old friend who told me that you found somebody new
Oh, you're finally moving on
Oh, you'd think that I'd be over you after all these years
Yeah, but time has proved it wrong
'Cause I'm still holdin' on

What could have been love
Should have been the only thing that was ever meant to be
Didn't know, couldn't see what was right in front of me
(What could have been love)
And now that I'm alone
All I have is emptiness that comes from being free
What could have been love will never be

We've gone our separate ways
Say goodbye to another day
I still wonder where you're at
Are you too far from turning back?
You were slipping through my hands
And I didn't understand (love)

What could have been love
Should have been the only thing that was ever meant to be
Didn't know, couldn't see what was right in front of me
(What could have been love)
And now that I'm alone
All I have is emptiness that comes from being free
What could have been love will never be

What could have been love will never be
What could have been love
What could have been love
What could have been love (what could have been, what could have been)
What could have been love
