It Could've Been You

It doesn't matter where you go

To the east or to the west coast

It doesn't matter where you are tonight

Or if you ever think of my eyes

It doesn't matter what you do

Chase your dreams or the Malibu

Fix your car and find a different start

Or if you ever fix your heart

We weren't built to last

And I know in time you'll see that

Grow your flowers and use my weeds

Take what's yours and let me leave

I'll move on and you will too

But in the end, it could've been you

It could've been you

It doesn't matter where I go

If I go south or I stay up north

I've been healing from the inside out

You'd be proud of who I am right now

And I know we started talking (ooh)

About the way that life could be (ooh)

But when you finally figure things out

I hope that you remember me

Yeah, it would've been a good time, you and I

At least we gave it a try (ooh)

So grow your flowers and use my weeds (ooh)

Take what's yours and let me leave (ooh)

I'll move on, and you will too (ooh)

But in the end, it could've been you

Oh, it could've been you, yeah

Even if we'd never make it

If it was love or if we faked it

You said forever like you meant it

And looked at me like it was magic

Yeah, even if we'd never make it

If it was love or if we faked it

You said forever like you meant it

And looked at me like it was magic

Yeah, it could've been you

Mm
