What Could Have Been
One of my favorites! Most rock and pop songs are written in 4/4 signature. I decided to try something different and went with 6/8, almost “vals like”. I think it worked really well! Hope you enjoy this one as it packs a punch.
WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN
They are locked inside, all the good times together
Those were dreams of gold, our love bonded forever
you began to change, and I thought it was me, you were so fake
big mistake I made, falling real hard for you,
and now and will pay, your terrible crime, you leave behind my heart in pieces
Every time I think I see you, I go numb for days; no one is there to catch me, and my mind goes crazy thinking I messed up; will never know what could have, should have, would have been
Time has not been friendly to me, I can picture you and me still happy hanging, and I go to sleep while thinking of the broken chances of what could have, should have, would have been
Want to let you go, says my distorted mind, all the time
Please be far from here, let me fall out of sight, and out of your mind
don’t call anymore, leave me alone with my thoughts, and my life
If there is a god, who would spare me this pain,
I want to forget, your face and your eyes… you leave behind in my soul
Every time I think I see you, I go numb for days; no one is there to catch me, and my mind goes crazy thinking I messed up; will never know what could have, should have, would have been
Time has not been friendly to me, I can picture you and me still happy hanging, and I go to sleep while thinking of the broken chances of what could have, should have, would have been
Please stay away, don’t make this hard
Will not forget your face and eyes
But I will leave you far behind
Broken chances…. Of n what could have, should have, would have been
