Ah-ah, oh-oh-oh-oh You and me We could’ve been something What we could’ve had it? What we could’ve had it? We painted futures on cracked walls Talked about forever through midnight calls I held your name like it meant salvation You held my hands like hesitation We had the fire, but no control We had the dreams, but lost our soul Every kiss had a taste of doubt Now I see what it was all about We were close, but never aligned So much love, always mistimed You said forever, but never stayed And I still break when I hear your name What we could’ve had, I still see it in my sleep Running through the past like it’s something I could keep It hurts more than what we were Cause what we could’ve had was pure Now I’m stuck with all the silence And the ghosts of our defiance What we could’ve had it? What we could’ve had it? We lost it all before it bloomed Now I live in what we never knew You said: It’s not the right time But there’s never been a perfect line I would’ve fought the world for you But you folded like paper too I gave you songs, you gave me reasons But reasons don’t hold through seasons We were something almost right Almost love, almost light We danced near flames we couldn’t tame Left behind more than just names You moved on, and I pretend But what we could’ve had It never ends What we could’ve had, I still see it in my sleep Running through the past like it’s something I could keep It hurts more than what we were Cause what we could’ve had was pure Now I’m stuck with all the silence And the ghosts of our defiance What we could’ve had it? What we could’ve had it? Maybe in another life, another place We’d get it right, no time to waste But not this one, not this year All we have are unshed tears And maybe that’s the saddest part We never even got to start What we could’ve had, I still see it in my sleep Running through the past like it’s something I could keep It hurts more than what we were Cause what we could’ve had was pure Now I’m stuck with all the silence And the ghosts of our defiance What we could’ve had it? What we could’ve had it? Ah-ah, ah-ah We could’ve had it We should’ve had it But we never did
