Mandy Moore - Could've Been Lyrics

The flowers you gave me Are just about to die When I think about what could've been It 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 day of my life Could've been so beautiful Could've been so right I'll never hold what could've been On a cold and lonley night

The memories of our loving Still linger in the air Like the faded scent of your roses That stay with me everywhere Everytime I get my hopes up They always seem to fall Still what could've been Is better than what could never be at all, at all

Could've been so beautiful Could've been so right Could've been my lover Everyday day of my life Could've been so beautiful Could've been so right You can't hold what could've been On a cold and lonley night

Could've been so beautiful Could've been so right You can't hold what could've been On a cold and lonely night No No How can you hold what could've been On a cold and lonley night
