Mandy Moore - Could've Been

The flowers that you gave me,

Are just about to die.

When I think about what could've been,

Makes me want to cry.

The sweet words you whispered,

Didn't mean a thing.

I guess our song is over,

As we begin to sing.

Could've been so beautiful,

Could've been so right.

Could've been my lover,

Everyday of my life.

Could've been so beautiful,

Could've been so right.

I'll never know what could've been,

On a cold and lonely night.

The memories of our lovin',

Still linger in the air.

Like the faded scent of your roses,

Stay with me everywhere.

Every time I get my hopes up,

They always seem to fall.

Still what could've been,

Is better than what could never be at all.

Could've been so beautiful,

Could've been so right.

Could've been my lover,

Everyday of my life.

Could've been so beautiful,

Could've been so right.

You can't know what could've been,

On a cold and lonely night.

Could've been so beautiful,

Could've been so right.

You can't know what could've been,

On a cold and lonely night.

Ni-ooh-ight,

Ni-ooh-ight.

How can you know what could've been,

On a cold and lonely night.
