(Verse 1)

I still see your face in the rearview glass,

Like a ghost that time just couldn’t pass.

We had dreams we were chasin’, roads we didn’t take,

Now I’m wonderin’ if it all was a mistake.

We were so close to somethin' real,

But now it’s just the pain I feel.



(Pre-Chorus)

The years we spent, the plans we made,

Now they're slippin' like shadows into the shade.

I can't help but think of the life we lost,

Was it worth the love or the heavy cost?



(Chorus)

What could've been if we didn’t fall apart?

If we held on tight, never broke our hearts?

Maybe we’d be laughin’ under the stars tonight,

Livin’ the dream we thought was right.

But now it's just a story left untold,

A memory that's losin' its hold.

What could’ve been still plays in my mind,

But it’s too far gone, too far behind.



(Verse 2)

I remember the nights, the whispered words,

The way we fit, like a song unheard.

But love’s a gamble, sometimes you lose,

Now I’m left with the blues of what we didn’t choose.

I thought we had forever in our hands,

But we let go of all our plans.



(Pre-Chorus)

I see the life we could've made,

If only the cracks didn’t start to fade.

Now it’s a picture that's fallin' apart,

A faded vision of where we used to start.



(Chorus)

What could've been if we didn’t fall apart?

If we held on tight, never broke our hearts?

Maybe we’d be laughin’ under the stars tonight,

Livin’ the dream we thought was right.

But now it's just a story left untold,

A memory that's losin' its hold.

What could’ve been still plays in my mind,

But it’s too far gone, too far behind.



(Bridge)

I still dream sometimes of that better place,

Where we never let the love erase.

But dreams are just a place to hide,

From the truth that we left behind.



(Chorus)

What could've been if we didn’t fall apart?

If we held on tight, never broke our hearts?

Maybe we’d be laughin’ under the stars tonight,

Livin’ the dream we thought was right.

But now it's just a story left untold,

A memory that's losin' its hold.

What could’ve been still plays in my mind,

But it’s too far gone, too far behind.



(Outro)

Yeah, what could’ve been will always stay,

But I’m learnin' how to walk away.
