could've been

(Mm-hm)

Smell the flowers

Talk for hours

About your point of view

How the world has been

Sun has gone to bed now

But its warmth is in your eyes

People change, it's up to them

I wish sometimes you could've been more

More than a friend

I don't regret the ending

Just wish the middle would've been

Could've been, could've been better

I guess we'll never know

That's just how the story goes

If we could've been better

Better

Could've been better

Your mother called my mother

Asked how I've been doin' since

Honestly, a part of me has gone

And it's been missed

I know you've got

Some explorin' to do

But I wish that I could make that journey

Oh, just me and you

People change, I know

(Wish sometimes it could've been more)

People change, it's tragedy to me

I promise I'll see you at seventeen

(Wish sometimes it could've been more)

You'll never change to me

(People change, it's up to them)

(I wish sometimes it could've been more)

You'll never change

I don't regret the ending

Just wish the middle would've been

Could've been, could've been better

I guess we'll never know

That's just how the story goes

If we could've been better

Better

(I don't regret the ending)

(Just wish the middle would've been) Could've been better

(Could've been, could've been better)

(I guess we'll never know) Wrapped up in emotions

(That's just how the story goes) Caught up in your love

(If we could've been better) Like it was possible

(Better)

(Could've been better)
