Christopher Sean - What Could Have Been lyrics

He doesn't talk about it No he doesn't say a thing But that doesn't mean the memory of her Doesn't stab and sting His heart now high and dry Flying ragged in the wind Looking for any sign at all To bring back what could have been Her body, naked, lovely Unwed, but bed and pure They kissed each other a thousand times But he never gave himself to her Or if he did, only in part Now that part has grown so thin He walks the streets alone at night Hoping to find what could have been Just another sad country boy Bound to move city to city Though he never drops his proud heart To hear them say, 'damn what a pity' For there's a state lonelier than solitude A fate worse than hell's hard sin Not to see her one last time To find out what could have been What could have been It's gone and dead What could have been It's all in his head And nobody gains a damn thing Since he's never standing In the place where lover forgives lover And forgets what could have been
