Could Have

When I saw you in that place one day,
I could have spoken my mind.
But because of what you’ve done to me
I must now leave you behind.

I wish I could have known
The last kiss would have been the last,
I wish I could have turned back time
And wiped away the past.

You could have been my everything
But you’ve now become my nothing,
And you’ve made me feel that from now on,
I’m incapable of loving.

You could have haunted me in nightmares
And turned them into dreams,
But now you haunt me in a different way
And nothing is what it seems.

You could have knocked me off my feet
But instead you pushed me down.
You made me look like a fool,
I’m sick of being pitied in this town.

You always claim you’ll have me
Then somehow you find a way to turn your back.
And after all your hypocritical times,
This final point has knocked me off my track.

We laughed, we lived, we loved
But now my back it turned.
Because of you I screamed, I cried,
And then I crashed and burned.
