Album: Perception (2005)

Could've Been With You

Call me crazy, call me a fool
But I believe dreams that come true
'cause I found myself kissing you that night
While I gazed at you asleep
Dressed up in my ripped up jeans
I relived that memory tonight
That was the past, we didn't last
And somehow I know it was my fault
I lost my chance for your hand
Now I could just kick myself

Look at all the mess I've made
Look at all the games I've played
I think of all the time I've wasted
I could've been with you
Now all I do is just blame myself
Trash another nice hotel
Some nights it hurts like hell to know
That I could've been with you (something about you)
I could've been with you (can't live without you)

All my thoughts are filled with you
Thinking bout the chance I blew
Knowing what I wish I knew back then
I was stupid didn't wait
Now my mind is in a state
Of wondering what could've been
Now it's much too late
I should've called
I should've crawled
I should've done everything I could
This is pathetic I shouldn't have let it in
Now I could just kick myself

Look at all the tears I've shared
Look at all the years I spent
Lying in this lonely bed when
I could've been with you
Losing you was a big mistake
The pain is more than I can take
All the smiles I try to fake
But I could've been with you

'cause I remember everything you said
All went to my head
Now I'm missing you (missing you)
Wish I was kissing you (again)
I let you slip right through my hands
Like a thousand grains of sand
Now I can't stand where I stand with you now

All my wishes lie in vain
So I'm left here to take the pain
Of knowing that you can live without me
Now my heart is the one that's breaking
Chances I should've never taken
I should've known there was more at stake when
I could've been with you

Now look at the one who's crying
And part of me is always dying
Knowing I should've kept on trying
And I could've been with you (something about you)
I could've been with you (can't live without you)
Could've been with you (something about you)
Could've been with you (can't live without you)
