Could Have Been Us

It could've been us

But it will never be you and I

She's sitting right beside him

With his coat on her shoulders

I'm only passing by so don't mind me

I used to look at her

The same way that he does

Now I'm wondering how this all can be

I'm on my way to city hall

With the papers in my hand

And I can't help thinking that it could've been us

It could've been us

It could've been you and I (Could've been you and I)

I should've put all of my trust in someone new this time

You made it seem so easy

Oh so effortless

Not telling me those things your eyes confess

It could've been us

But it will never be you and I

She put the pen to paper

Like a knife to my neck

Right then and there, I knew I lost the fight

If I had known that she had someone else than me

I would've signed it right away instead

But now I'm on my way to city hall

With the papers in my hand

And I can't help thinking that it could've been us

It could've been us

It could've been you and I (Could've been you and I)

I should've put all of my trust in someone new this time

You made it seem so easy

Oh so effortless

Not telling me those things your eyes confess

It could've been us

But it will never be you and I

It could've been us

It could've been you and I (Could've been you and I)

I should've put all of my trust in someone new this time

You made it seem so easy

Oh so effortless

Not telling me those things your eyes confess

It could've been us, oh

But it will never be you and I
