What Could Have Been

I could give you phony promises

Vows that we both know won’t come true

I could make a list that you can wish

Of things I’d love to someday do for you

That’s an easy way I know for some

Who don’t care that they cause pain

I guess I just can’t be a man like that

So I’ll tell you the sad truth once again

Chorus

No, there is no happy forever after

No, there’s no golden wedding band

For I don’t have my heart to give

I hope you can understand

When the bar shuts down at midnight

I’ll go quickly goodnight is all I’ll say

A sad goodbye in the parking lot

That’s the way we’ll have to stay

Chorus:

Yes, I felt the spark… of love’s design

And yes, I wished… you could be mine

Your kiss a taste of could have been…

please let me go, for I don’t know,

if I can resist that kind of sin
