What Could Have Been
What Could Have Been
I lie awake and feel the pain
I dream about what might have been
if only you were the one
who took my hand and led me home
but dreams are where we hide from life
with all it's sadness and it's strife
I needed you this lonely night
to make me smile to make it right
and say the words I need to hear
so sorry... I'll make you happy dear
but all I see is an empty heart
I should have known it from the start
for one as singular as you
could never love with love that's true
you never saw my love for you
and left me here to muddle through
I see you standing near the edge
of unexpected love thus pledged
only to walk away to stay
well this is all I have to say
may your dreams tonight awaken you
to feel the pain the way I do
when your true love denies you too
and tears of sorrow soak you through
my love... if only... you were the one
who took my hand and led me home
my pain would finally set me free
and you would always be with me
