What Could Be

Does it scare you to think

Of the things you never said

All the thoughts that he may never know

Does your heart start to sink

As you're lying in your bed

And you dwell on the love left untold

It's a bittersweet reminder of what could be

Do you wonder if you're standing where you should be

As you're coming around

You're still thinking about

The life you left unlived

For the dreams still asleep

For the fires you let burn out

All the time in the world couldn't solve

Were you stuck in between

Did you cave into the doubt

Or do we get what we want after all

It's a bittersweet reminder of what could be

Do you wonder if you're standing where you should be

As you sit with the past

You're still trying to grasp

The life you left unlived

Are you still holding hands

With the person you won't be

Take your time, wave goodbye, could've been

You could leave it to chance

Choose to follow or to lead

One road starts, and another has to end

It's a bittersweet reminder of what could be

Do you wonder if you're standing where you should be

As you're walking away

No longer afraid

Letting go of the weight

As you step out of frame

And it's all taking shape

Just the choice that you made

The life you left unlived
