Lyrics
It Could?ve Been Love
I stare into your eyes and I can see
that you can?t see me
your heart is somewhere far away
where you don?t need me
yes, you have your reasons
and I have my pride
so the space here between us
grows impossibly wide
but it could have been?
it could?ve been love
it could?ve been all the things we?ve hoped and prayed for
it could?ve been love
it could?ve been just the thing our souls were made for
it could?ve been love
it could?ve been love
it could have been?
I refuse to lie, I refuse to hide
this feeling that I feel
I won?t pretend it?s nothing
when there?s nothing else so real
but you have your reasons
and I just don?t make sense
so this wall here between us
grows impossibly dense
but it could have been?
it could?ve been love
it could?ve been all the things we?ve hoped and prayed for
it could?ve been love
it could?ve been just the thing our souls were made for
it could?ve been love
it could?ve been love
it could have been?
another time, another place
another life, another face
I know our souls have touched before
and I know our souls will fly again
I?ll keep the flame alive ?til then
when we can let our love be so much more?
it could?ve been love?
it could?ve been all the things our hearts have longed for
it could?ve been love?
it could?ve been just the thing our souls were born for
it could?ve been love?
