WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN  Christie Thompson

My shoulder’s soaked,
Right to the skin
From tears you hoped, would make me take you
Back again
But I can’t forgive
That part of you, I always knew
Belonged to him

‘CAUSE YOU’D BEGIN, REMEMBERIN’, WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN
            
I guess I’m glad
You told the truth
But I know myself, this isn’t something
I’ll get through
It’s best if I,
Just walk away, and find someplace
To lick my wounds

WHERE I’LL BEGIN, REMEMBERIN’, WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN

             You did some things you’re sorry for, you couldn’t live the lie no more
         But I don’t think we, could ever be, exactly like we were before
          ‘Cause every time I held you tight, I’d picture you with him that night
    And wonder if he’s on your mind, as much as he would be on mine

I never thought
I’d be deceived
By the only one, I swore that I would
Ever need
Caught in my throat,
Are words of hope, gone up in smoke
Now I can’t breathe

AS I BEGIN, REMEMBERIN’, WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN
AS I BEGIN, REMEMBERIN’, WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN
