What Could’ve Been

We were like a wildfire, burning bright But now we're just ashes in the night Every word we said, every touch we shared Now it's all gone, like we never cared What could've been, it's haunting me The love we had, it's a bittersweet memory In my dreams, I still see your face But reality's cruel, and love's just a chase What could've been, we'll never know The paths we didn't take, the seeds we didn't sow But I'm not gonna go, i'll at least try to find What could've been, i just need more time We were like a shooting star, across the sky But now we're just a fading twinkle in my eye Everything we made, every dream we had Now it's all lost, like a love gone bad What could've been, it's a painful regret The moments we missed, the chances we let In my heart, I still feel your touch But reality's harsh, and love can be so much What could've been, we'll never know The paths we didn't take, the seeds we didn't sow But I'm not gonna go, i'll at least try to find What could've been, i just need more time In another life, maybe we'd find a way To rewrite our story, to make it okay But for now, all we have are these words unsaid And the echoes of a love that's long been dead What could've been, it's a constant ache The love we lost, the choices we didn't make In my soul, I still hear your voice But reality's cruel, and love's not a choice What could've been, we'll never know The paths we didn't take, the seeds we didn't sow But I'm not gonna go, i'll at least try to find What could've been, i just need more time
