May Erlewine Could Have Been
There in the sunrise
I saw you change your mind
And it cast a different light on me
And love ain't for the faint of heart
So I'm learning to fall apart
And pick up the pieces when you leave
And I guess it's when you stay
You get to know the way it looks when they walk away
You get to know the way it feels
And I should know better by now
And I guess that's what it takes
You make love and then you make mistakes
You bend a heart until it's breaking down
[Chorus]
What we could have been, what we could have been
How could you give up so easily?
What we could have been, what we could have been
Now it's only a broken dream
I wonder, on the other side
Will you be satisfied?
Or is this just another time you tried to feel free?
I guess I don't know the word
Was it something you said or something I heard?
What did you gain from naming that pain in me?
[Chorus]
What we could have been, what we could have been
How could you give up so easily?
What we could have been, what we could have been
Now it's only a broken dream
Now it's only a broken dream
