[Verse 1] We are the architects who'll never build But deep down I think that you knew how I felt You live in a new city now with a pretty girl I still walk past your parent's house And feel my stomach churn And I look for you in everyone I meet [Chorus] We could've been something But you were too scared what they'd say Could've been something But you didn't see me in that way Could've been something But I was the risk you'd never take I guess we'll never be What I wanted so desperately [Verse 2] Gone are the days when I'd walk to your house Head on your chest and my heart in my mouth Counting all the plastic stars on the ceiling of your room Counting all the times that I almost told you [Chorus] We could've been something But you were too scared what they'd say Could've been something But you didn't see me in that way Could've been something But I was the risk you'd never take I guess we'll never be What I wanted [Bridge] I wonder if you ever hear my name Or if I'm a forgotten part at the back of your brain I wonder if you ever hear my name Or if I'm a forgotten part at the back of your brain [Chorus] We could've been something But you were too scared what they'd say Could've been something But you didn't see me in that way Could've been something But I was the risk you'd never take I guess we'll never be What I wanted so desperately
