what we could’ve been

Girl what we could’ve been in the past **Verse 1:** We were young and reckless, driving late at night, Your laughter filled the air like stars igniting bright. From state to state, yeah, we were making plans, Thought we had forever, but I should’ve felt the sands. **Pre-Chorus:** You were the one, the dream in my head, But somewhere in the laughter, doubt began to spread. I knew I should have spoken, let it all come clear, But I kept my mouth shut, now look where we are, dear. **Chorus:** Girl, you took my future away, look what you did, Memories cut like glass, shining sharp where we hid. I ain’t never miss your mom, but I miss how you smiled, Now you ran off with a star, leaving my heart beguiled. I miss your love, yeah, I miss everything about you, Left in the rearview, just a shadow of what we knew. **Verse 2:** The moments we cherished, I replay them in dreams, A fairytale ending cracked at the seams. You took my heart, and now it feels so bad, Can’t believe I lost the best love I ever had. **Pre-Chorus:** I learned my lesson, I’ll speak up next time, Didn’t know what I had ‘til you were no longer mine. Now I’m sitting here wondering what could have been, And I can't help but feel like I've lost my best friend. **Chorus:** Girl, you took my future away, look what you did, Memories cut like glass, shining sharp where we hid. I ain’t never miss your mom, but I miss how you smiled, Now you ran off with a star, leaving my heart beguiled. I miss your love, yeah, I miss everything about you, Left in the rearview, just a shadow of what we knew. **Bridge:** Maybe someday I’ll find another love, With lessons learned, I’ll rise above. But in the quiet moments, I still feel the ache, ‘Cause you were my heart, the sweetest mistake. **Chorus:** Girl, you took my future away, look what you did, Memories cut like glass, shining sharp where we hid. I ain’t never miss your mom, but I miss how you smiled, Now you ran off with a star, leaving my heart beguiled. I miss your love, yeah, I miss everything about you, Left in the rearview, just a shadow of what we knew. **Outro:** Now I drive this road alone, with echoes of our song, Wishing I could turn back time, but I know I was wrong. So here I am without you, just a ghost of what we were, Left in the rearview, yeah, fading into blur.
