What Could Have Been Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Seen you the other day
Still looking so fine
Hating that I lost what I had in you
If I could turn back time
I would make a change and never do the things that I've done to you
I see you're doing good
Shawty your career is taking off like mine
And what we could have done together, what a shame
I'm 'bout to lose my mind

[Chorus]
It's starting to hit me now
All I think about is what could've been
And I just sit around thinking about you
Only what could've been, yeah
It could've been us with the kids, house on the hill
You the First Lady and I'm the President
Now all that I did not worth this
Thinking bout what could've been
Thinking bout what could've been, oh

[Verse 2]
I'm reflecting on the past
That special thing we had
I should have worked it out, oh
I just couldn't see it then
But seeing you with him, I know his name's on it now
And I've been through all the change, grown man nowadays
I wanna settle down, down
Memories playing in my head
So many things I said, wish we could talk about
[Chorus]
It's starting to hit me now
All I think about is what could've been
And I just sit around thinking about you
Only what could've been
It could've been us with the kids, house on the hill
You the First Lady and I'm the President
Now all that I did not worth this
Thinking 'bout what could've been
Thinking 'bout what could've been

[Bridge]
I didn't appreciate when you were mine
And now I'm asking
God just once, turn back the hands of time, yeah
So I can fix some wrongs
Give me another, give us another chance
Girl, I just can't live without you and living with regret
I guess it wasn't meant, I'm stuck here wondering if

[Chorus]
It's starting to hit me now
All I think about is what could've been
And I just sit around thinking about you
Only what could've been
It could've been us with the kids, house on the hill
You the First Lady and I'm the President
Now all that I did not worth this
Thinking 'bout what could've been
Thinking 'bout what could've been
It's starting to hit me now
All I think about is what could've been
And I just sit around thinking about you
Only what could've been
It could've been us with the kids, house on the hill
You the First Lady and I'm the President
Now all that I did not worth this
Thinking 'bout what could've been
Thinking 'bout what could've been

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
