lyrics

VERSE 1

I saw two lovers walking the street today,
the way they looked at each other had me looking the other way.
And it was kinda funny, ‘cause I remember clearly the way you looked at me,
And I looked at her with jealousy.

CHORUS
‘Cause you could’ve been the one, but we both had to move on. You could’ve been the one.

VERSE 2

The smell of your hair, the sound of your voice makes me want you more.
But all that I know is when she goes home the arms she holds are yours.

And I know it’s dumb that I can’t move on, so I’ll keep quiet, but if I said I don’t want you, I’d be lying.

CHORUS

You could’ve been by my side, now I sit and wonder why. You could’ve been the one.

BRIDGE
And maybe I’ll wait up by my phone
But we both know we’re better off alone.

CHORUS.
No matter where I go, you make sure your ghost follows, You could’ve been the one.
