Could Have Been - Mandy Moore

The flowers that you gave me

Are just about to die

When I think about what could've been

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 of my life

Could've been so beautiful

Could've been so right

I'll never know what could've been

On a cold and lonely night


The memories of our lovin'

Still linger in the air

Like the faded scent of your roses

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


Could've been so beautiful

Could've been so right

Could've been my lover

Everyday of my life

Could've been so beautiful

Could've been so right

You can't know what could've been

On a cold and lonely night


Could've been so beautiful

Could've been so right

You can't know what could've been

On a cold and lonely night

Ni-ooh-ight

Ni-ooh-ight

How can you know what could've been

On a cold and lonely night
